“ Hi Rick, I've received the iaito and it's beautiful! My only fear was the color of the sageo, because pictures in the webpage are very week, and the brown in pictures much lighter than the real one (I want darkbrown, so it's totally perfect now!). So thank you for your patience and kind e-mails of yours! ”

“ I received the sword on 1/05. It was well packaged! The sword itself is far beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier. I've already logged a lot of time with it and I can tell it is a far better sword than I am an iaido practitioner... Thank you for all of your help. Norman ”

“ Hello I'd like to say that I received my 1A iaito, it was in good state. I liked the gifs with it, so thank you for that. It was released by customs in the middle of the night, and I was surprised I got it the other day. Combined with the cheap dollar and the good service by you, I will recommend swordstore.com to others. Regards, Jef xxx (Netherlands) ”

“ Rick: I received my iaito yesterday (order xxx). I am extremely pleased with the results. She is well balanced for me and beautiful. I also greatly appreciate the choji oil and the tenugui. Thanks again for your attention to detail. Please feel free to use me as a reference. Mike ”

“ Hi. Just to confirm you that my last order ( xxx) has arrived and everything is beautifull and perfect as always. Thanks and best regards Jorge Ferri ”

“ Packaged to the nines! Nicely done. Arrived in good order. The "Fragile" sticker, while totally appropriate under the circumstances, seemed kind of funny: it's a sword! It best not be fragile! Total satisfaction so far. Appearance, fit and finish exceed expectations. Hopefully my MJER teacher (Iwata xxx Sensei's lineage) will say the same tomorrow. Rick, thanks so much for your patience ”

“ Dear Tom, package was delivered today. Thanks for handling my order. I was previously asked by a friend, Christine, to say "hi" to Rick and tell him how happy she is with her iaito. Could you please pass on her message? best regards Andrea ”

Andreas

“ We received the sword on last saturday. She tried it yesterday at the dojo and it was just like she had this one for the last 20 years. Perfect fit for her and the balance is great. We are just waiting for the saya now. Again, let me know before shipping... Thanks for the exceptionnal service. Daniel Miller ”

“ Hey Rick, First of all I like to say that I couldn't be more pleased with my iaito. I train with it daily and it performs beautifully. I really appreciate the efforts of you and your staff in producing such fine equipment. That ”

“ THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I JUST RECEIVED MY SWORD ON MONDAY IT'S BEAUTIFUL! THE LENGTH AND WEIGHT ARE PERFECT! BEING ONLY 5'2" I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING A SWORD. I'VE BEEN PRACTICING WITH A 28" FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THE SIMPLIST MOVES! THE 26" IS PERFECT. I CAN FINALLY MAKE MY SWORD SING!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SENSEI TO SEE IT ON FRIDAY. THANK YOU - ALL OF YOUR HELP IN SELECTING MY SWORD, ALL OF THE OPTIONS AT EVEN THE LOWERE COST SWORDS, AND You FOR ALL OF YOU... ”
