My father bought a set b4 from Japan using Amex membership...it was like 20 years ago and the quality of those compared to the one posted here from Penang is really diff.

One thing you must make sure is that you maintain the katana once in a while...dabbing with talcum powder and oil, that comes with the package just like what we see in samurai movies (i doubt those from kek lok si temples have the maintenance kit) If you dont take care of it, you'll have a very bad maintained katana.
