Ronin Katana Entry Level Katana RK#13: Review and Destruction - Long Version

This is a Ronin Katana RK #13

This is a review and destructive testing.

The RK series swords are entry level blades that offer a pretty good value for the money. In the video I cover my thoughts on the sword, the construction, it's function as a training tool, the cutting ability, and how well it holds up to punishment.
