Personal NotesFrom My eBay Customers
bcdjad1 Dear Haz, Wow what a fantastic sword. The craftmanship is beyond my wildest expectations. The balance of the sword is pure poetry. The finish of the blade is what you would expect on a sword costing three times the price. I will be buying another katana from you very soon. Thanks for super fast shipping and being so honest in your description of the Black Obake. I'd be proud to let anyone know of your professionalism and quality of your swords. Thank you again Haz for the best sword I've ever owned. You certainly know high quality.
zephorse23adam Geez Haz this sword is unbelievable and its so perfect its part of me now. Omg I can't describe how beautiful this sword is. I am in awww of this sword, its flawless, and the balance is perfect. It’s all I could ever dream for in a sword. You’re a one of a kind Swordmaster Haz, and you found the sword that fits me to perfection. This is the most flawless sword I have ever seen and just holding it I find perfection in its balance. It is without a doubt the perfect sword for me. I cut through a 2 liter bottle like it was made out of butter, 2 perfect 45 degree cuts with the same bottle! You are no doubt a master and I bow to you and you craft. Adam the Z-man!
mcwec200 Dear Haz: The sword arrived today. That is some ridiculously fast shipping! When I saw the finish I was almost afraid to cut with it cause it so great, but I pushed passed my fear. This is one hell of a balanced blade. I was doing single cuts, double cuts, even triple cuts with ease on tatami mats. This thing cuts like a laser. I own several top end katanas but even my best doesn't have the level of individual detail and care the Fengdu Devil does. The weight and balance are phenomenal, I'm able to perform (toyama-ryu) kata faster and smoother than I ever thought possible. The ghost temperlines are truly amazing. The katate maki is well woven, and the fittings are very snug! I can’t seem to put this blade down...even as I’m typing this. The Fengdu Devil is a tool I will definitely be using for a long time to come regardless of rain, shine, or zombie apocalypse. Thank you Haz for such a unique, beautiful, and finely crafted sword.
xsf4ce Haz, finally I have the Koizumi Wakazashi in my hands. It was a pleasure to do business with you. I wish there were more space to describe the professional way you handle your business. I literally ran out of space and had to rewrite it a couple times and still did not do you justice.The blade is magnificent Haz, and all I can say is “WOW” the polish is phenomenal. It truly has a beautiful hamon. You are the man, or should I say you are the Sword Man! You are going in my list or favorite sellers because I own a lot of swords, some really expensive and some not so expensive, but your sword compares in quality to some that cost three times as much. Thanks again. Craig.
ninja1dawg HAZ! My sword just came and oh my god it feels like Christmas morning. When I took the sword out of the box, the first words that came to my mind were "Perfect, Beautiful, and worth it." Everything about it is top quality and solid. It's the most beautiful thing in my house now. I don’t think I'll be letting it out of my sight for awhile. Thank you so much haz, and know that I'll still be watching your store like a hawk.
brittaintrail Haz, the Warrior’s Ruby, its fabulous! The polish is pristine. Haz, your eye for absolute perfection has rendered easily the most majestic sword in my extensive collection. Upon unsheathing the blade I was met with a stunning hamon that danced with elan for the distance of the exquisitely... no faultlessly polished length of the blade." ~ Brit
mojojogreHaz – The Sori Master arrived today. Its beautiful excellent balance feels almost weightless. Nice fittings, tight tsuka, beautiful REAL Hamon and ONE MEAN 1 inch sori!!In an age where everything is mass produced as fast and cheap as possible, it's great to see a true craftsman like yourself who puts so much into his work. I will definitely purchase from you again and I am honored to own this sword. Thank you
lord_lokdoninGood afternoon Haz, I just received the katana and I must say, I'm impressed. The fittings are nice and tight, it has a beautiful polish and it has a superb balance. It rivals my 2 hanwei katanas that cost me twice as much as this. I hope others will come to see the quality of the blades that you produce. Thank you for this beautiful piece and I hope we can do business again.
alchemyuser1 80 characters wasn’t enough to describe what I needed to say about the Sori Master. The katana is just amazing, lightweight with the well balanced and true aesthetics of a katana. The saya is magnificent as well. All of the sword furniture is beautiful and gives the sword its own unique soul. A truly elegant sword. I am simply amazed at the skill of craftsmanship. I appreciate the flight case and the sword bag and I send you and your sensei a thousand thanks.
420lukasAt long last I have finally taken possession of probably the best sword in my collection. Everything on it has met my expectations or exceeded them.Thanks.Luka
doctah_bThe Black Shadow Ghost Katana came in yesterday Haz...everything was better than I expected it to be!The sword is flawless. Thank you for your business. I look forward to doing more!
jpou2666 I purchased this beauty, the Dragon Blade Sword Project, and I must say it’s almost like getting to have a mistress and be married at the same time! This blade is gorgeous! This is a blade worth the accolades Haz! I am half tempted to slap my makeshift test cutting handle on it just to do some tatame omote now! I look forward to future offerings you produce, and believe that anyone who buys from you will get their money's worth and then some.I hope to do the blade-smithing justice with the furnishings! Thanks Haz! Peace.
rizzle_dizzle79OMG Haz! Your Preying Mantis katana is the most beautiful sword I’ve ever owned. I still can’t believe how sharp it is. The sword is exactly like you said it would be.It makes my other swords look like play toys.I never thought I’d get such a great sword deal on eBay but you came through big time for me Haz. BTW, you should charge more money for your swords, they’re worth it. LOLThanks again.
rhyshalfelvenHaz, I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful sword and all the extras you sent me.
I did get the sword on Thursday 01/29 and I have to say it blew my expectations away. Once again thank you for the great sword and the extra Mt. Fuji Tsuba which is spectacular.Your dedication to quality products and exceptional service is a rare thing to find and I hope your business continues to grow because of it.Ryan
elliyachtWhat a wonderful sword! I have intention of displaying this front and center with other Japanese Samurai craft I have acquired over the years! I look forward to trying out its cutting capability. Thank you so much for the bottle of oil and samegawa! Your honesty and forthrightness will not go unnoticed in life. I commend you on your craft! -Brian, overly satisfied customer!
dus10remiI just got the sword today and what can I say.... I'm speechless! This is by far the best sword I've ever owned.I still can’t get over how spectacular the Hamon on the blade is, and the all together fit and feel of the sword is perfect. The weight and balance is far better than anything I ever expected and the quality of the craftsmanship makes it “an original piece of art”. As great as this sword is, nothing can match the care and consideration you put into the transaction to make everything a smooth and helpful purchase. Thanks for going out your way to find a sword box for me and the extra tsuba and big bottle of Ninhonto Choji oil where so much more than I expected. You truly give a new meaning to customer service. I look forward to doing business with you again and I'm patiently waiting for your new swords to come. Thanks again for everything........ Did I mention this sword is very f***ing sharp...Awesome sword!!!!Looks and feels perfect. Thanks again Haz, for a great sword and a wonderful transaction. Dustin
aripkowskiThe sword is all that I expected. I will enjoy it and I thank you for it. Finally, thanks again for the wonderful product!
nasdaqman13HEY! I got the sword today and WOW ! I am very pleased with it. Your customer service and expertise was wonderful.The Hamon is FABULOUS, completely authentic and easy to see. The Blade is SUPER, no dings or scratches whatsoever and the curve is IMPRESSIVE. The fit is a 10 and so are the fittings. But what surprised me among all these great qualities is the weight. It seems to weigh near 2.5 LBS andIT HANDLES LIKE I WAS BORN WITH IT !Anyway, I am very happy with the sword and the saya too. The wrapping is EXCELLENT and the tsuba is an eye catcher as well. I am happy this worked out Haz and I am sure I will get another one.Can’t say when though, I am “EYEBALLING” the Death Frenzy and of course the Emerald Warrior katanas still. THX HAZ ! Randy
james_xpressHi Haz,I received my new Katana this morning left you really good feedback, very happy with your service and the katana was better then expected for price paid, nice blade very sharp and the fittings and finish are nice and tight, I also received your letter thank you, If you need any referrals from Australia, I would be happy to be one as your service is second to none, My shihan was impressed with my new Katana, I'm sure we will be doing business again very soon. Thank you for looking after me.Kind Regards, James
spearman8y75Dear Haz, WOW! I am delighted with this sword.My primary hope was sharp and it is pleasingly so. It has a wonderful overall balance. I had thought by the photos that the Tsuba was a tad garish but in person due to it's black highlights it seems perfect and in harmony. The Hamon shows up much more distinct than the photos and the slightly longer Kissaki is very pleasing. The katanas available locally and at the Gun and Knife show here are pure flea market junk. I have collected knives and various edged things for the last 25 years. Buy, sell ,trade and keep the favorites. I have very little expertise in Japanese swords but have handled enough fine edged items to know the sword you sold to me is a "goodun".Your “Black Obake Katana” is poetry in steel. Thank You My Friend for this Beautiful sword ! Don
102075joshua Haz, Thank you for your time and service. This is a good Shinken. I had some time to look closer at the Katana I received from you and it is indeed very nice no bumps or anything in fact the blade has cleaner lines than the L6 “Oni” that I paid over a grand for. It has a robust hamon and is very sharp. The polish is nice and geometry seems traditional. I have bought many Katana this year. Yours will take its place in my collection while defining its own beauty among others. I am grateful. Once again I thank you sir. Take care, Joshua.
andyman383 Hey Haz, The two “Twin” katanas you sent me exceeded my wildest expectations. They are so great I’m wondering, “Is it legal to Marry a sword?” Ha Ha HaI look at the twin katanas everyday, Rachel and Linda. I knew I had to name them. Thanks again.
conran777Got it Haz!!! Great sword. I REALLY love the spare Tsuba that you sent. Thank you. I am very pleased to see the depth of the hamon on the kissaki. This was a very pleasant experience, and you went out of your way to see that it was. I thank you for that. Take it easy Haz and hope to do more business with you soon.
v.robertsiiiHello Mr. Yakiba, Warriors Ruby Katana arrived today around 1530hrs in great condition. I currently have it out acclimatizing to the weather-its 28 outside and its drawing moisture trying to warm up. I am extremely well pleased with the sword and look forward to more of your one-of customs in the near future. Thanks V.R.
rhyshalfelvenHaz, I just wanted to thank you for the great items. I received them on Monday, was really surprised they got here so quick with the holiday. With this kind of service you will have a great business on ebay.I left you positive feedback and 5 stars.I wish every eBay transaction was as great as this one.

okiaka740Haz, I just received the package. I wasn't expecting so many extras. The blade is beautiful ! I'm sure my son will be pleased with the end result. Again thank you so much. You have been more than kind. Eric
necxtusHi Haz!It was an honor to meet you.

Just the fact that after meeting you and admiring the sword I bought on EbayI immediately bought another one says everything. And thank you so much for the extra tsuba, that is just something you don't expect from a seller today. Fantastic person, fantastic product, best ever service and communication.All the best,Ronny
