Very honored to have made business with Tozando.

Thank you everyone at Tozando, for the opportunity to become the new custodian of this incredible Mihara katana, I am amazed how good it all is throughout the centuries past. This will be a favorite Iaido nihonto. Not for shows, no more for use but only for refinement of my being, walking the path of harmony.
Once again Tozando has really come through with prompt service and professionalism and the huge amount of knowledge on the products and gear for martial arts.

Beautifully made and very well balanced.

The Nihonto received from Tozando is beautifully made and well balanced. It feels excellent in practice.

There was a shipping issue where the package lost its label during transit, which delayed delivery, but it eventually arrived safely.

Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the sword and look forward to continuing my training with it.

Prompt service

Prompt service, very accessible website with great gear and accessories, and optimal prices.
The Nuguigami part is very genuine and of high quality.
Tozando is my go to site for all my gear.
