QUESTION: Hey there Paul, I've been trying to find a decent review on Bugei katanas and have found some that were okay but I want more of a in-depth review on each of the katanas. SO in your knowledge, I wish you could tell me which models of katana are the best bang for the buck. I believe there are 7 different katanas, the Samurai, The crane, the bamboo, the dragonfly, the wave, the liondog and the shobu Zukuri. I just want an honest opinion and I dont want to feel like I bought an okay katana when there is a better one. Thanks hope you answer soon.

ANSWER:Hi Peter,

I think as they are all extremely good quality, it comes down to a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like the Bamboo and the Dragonfly - and have never heard anything but praise for these two models, but really all of them are very (very) good.

Hope this helps.
