I have purchased two Skyjiro in the past year the taka chigai and a sharpened iaito and both do not have the crossed feathers habaki. When I asked Danny (Skyjiro Rep), he said it was because of covid. 🤷‍♂️

My personal recommendation as one who has waited a long time for a skyjiro sword is to buy direct and deal with wait

What I like about you among other things is the fact that you are honest without being mean if something isn’t up to standard

The music, with this audio balance to your commentary, is a surprisingly (surprising to me) big plus! I really enjoyed this music with this review. The entire presentation had a super peaceful vibe for me, and the way my day was going, I needed that, lol! Really sweet high resolution close up shots by the way :) Great overall production on this one sir.

Thanks for the dedication to shoot the Iaido video in the lovely Minnesota Springtime. Great review, as always.

I personally prefer less ornate fittings. They can have simple or more elaborate lines, but I generally prefer undecorated.

Great review Matt the shots in the snow look really cool and contrast well with the sword!

@JoeSteel1 2 года назад

This is a very informative video when I compare it to a higher price sword from Skyjiro I reviewed that was differently hardened, I saw less imperfections in some areas you highlighted and I cut the same materials plus hard bamboo and I found no edge deflection on ha whatsoever. wondering if at a higher price better work is preformed which is understandable and to be noted, simply brilliant review Mat, always appreciated

Would love to see you review the other hanwei raptors, the two you reviewed a while back are the least appealing out of the raptor range👍

@JoeSteel1 2 года назад

Music as long as your voice is pronounced over it, I believe enhanced the video, gives it a more professional feel, draws me to the review more, I prefer it at times. you used to use music in the background on earlier videos, so the short answer YES its 👍 good

Good review. Seems on par with the Skyjiros I own or have handled. Glad they omitted that fake hamon they used to put on that line of katana they carry.

It's very interesting seeing the price jump from when the video was recorded to right now. Nice review and while I quite like the style of the sword I'd probably spend the 400 bucks elsewhere first tbh.

@Laggynoob6178 Год назад

This is the one I bought a few years ago it was very very well made!

@shanewright344 2 года назад

Normally, I'd be happy and entertained to see you put a sample sword through one of your destructive tests, but, in this instance, I'm glad you didn't do that.

@felldir 2 года назад

For the price looks pretty good. The menuki did look a bit cheap and the habaki fitment wasn't great. I wish you could have tested it properly. Other than durability concerns I like it.
