Truly a sword worthy of it's name

I bought this sword a couple of months ago from Swords of MIght. I would have to say that it's one of the best looking blades I've seen yet. I own six swords and have given a seventh as a gift (most of them I've purchased here as well). The hada is magnificent. It's better than my Paul Chen Bushido katana (which I paid over $800 for). I also own an 8,000 layer folded, laminated, differentially tempered Musashi katana and the Ryumon katana beats that one as well. The wrap on the handle is super tight and well done. The saya is almost as eye-catching as the sword itself too! For this price, you can't go wrong. It's an excellent sword. The only thing I've noticed that is just a bit off (and I can't decide wether this is a really anything worth noting) is that the blade doesn't have much flex to it like my musashi blade. It's a bit more rigid, but rigid means that it's more suited for thrusting from what I understand.
You know some of the bad-mouthing you read about on all those sword forums about Ryumon? Foolishness. I've even read some posts where people claim that the core of the tsuka is plastic. I took mine apart to have a look. Solid wood construction. Everything is high quality. I really don't get why some people just ignore the Ryumons. Pay their words no heed. I'd buy this sword all over again if given the chance. Thanks Swords of Might for the sword and the excellent customer service. I just can't stop admiring it. A deadly weapon in it's own right and a work of art as well.
