QUESTION: I was wanting your opinion of this site and this sword specifically:

http://www.ryansword.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=197

I've emaled the owner and he seems nice but his swords seem to be far to cheap to be gd altho his wording and the pics alone are verry impressive not to mention he will do custome work as well like just customizeing the fittings for a pretty cheap price.

im a bit stumped weather or not to run with it and purchase from him because of the price of his blades or if id be better of sticking with people like global gear.

PS it is straght from china

if u could help id be very greatful
Ben

ANSWER: Hi Ben,

I think they are pretty typical swords for the price point. But the problem is, that means that they may well have some flaws - and if the seller is in China, you may end up getting stuck with a defective sword... (or worse).

Personally, I would stick to Global - if there is a problem, they will take care of you - and they have some REALLY exceptional swords these days...

Hope this helps.

- Paul

Ryansword purchase
by: MtHanded

Have recently purchased a sword from Ryan Sword and think that it is a very decent sword for the money. I'm not claiming it's a screaming wundersword, but it's well put together (and when I took it apart I didn't see anything alarmingly shoddy). I don't intend to any serious cutting with it, just poolnoodle-kata and tameshigiri at some point. The balance point is within the range that it should be -a bit weighted in favor of cutting, which is what people seem to want these days. Point of percussion is right where it should be. Blade geometry is a true moran-type profile, and polish is better than I thought it would be. It's an aesthetically pleasing sword, solid and pleasing to the eye and hand. I don't have enough expertise to comment intelligently on hamon line or even to know if it's only a clever etching job, but it's certainly pretty enough. So far, I've found nothing to complain about in such an inexpensive sword. If I do, I'll post a follow-up.

i got the lobster tsuba sword from ryan sword and i can say that the quality of these sword are very well done. and very sharp and nive looking, i've learned than you can find cheaper sword around the webside most better than sword with higher price, about if they come from china that is right ,but tell me something , do you really think than cas hanwei come from japan? or do you think they are authentic japonese sword??? jajaja no way, i am agreed with they have nice quality in all, but the point is most of the sword come from china or korea, if you want get a real sword you'll spend thousand of dollars. i can say than ryan sword is the best choise if you wanna get high quality and a cheap sword thank you.

Ryan Swords are great
by: mike J

First, these guys are a pleasure to deal with and responsive. Second, my sword came customized at no extra cost. Third, shipping to Chicago, USA was only 6 days. Fourth, the quality of the sword is awesome. It is better than I dreamed. It is gorgeous and extremely sharp. Cuts are clean without much skill. Sword is very tight and assembled well. I would recommend them first after seeing several competitors in the $200 price range. IMHO the individuals bashing must be competitors or just hard to please. P.S. I am a lawyer from the Chicago area and do not know these guys at all.

Ryan Sword
by: Clayton

I have ordered and recieved a sword from Ryans sword. I am very happy with my sword.
wrapping is very tight, real rayskin, the sword is very solid.

I cut some bottles with it, wanted to try something a bit harder. I took the sword out side and cut a tree branch that was almost two inches thick, the cut was very clean, and there was no damage to the blade.

The sword was around 100 dollars and the shipping was around 45......well worth the price

the sword is a little blade heavy, but it was not an issue

I will purchase swords from Ryan sword again.
