Great Sword May 20, 2010
Reviewer: Emilio Trigueros from Canary Islands  
I've just been practicing with the Toppei for one month and it's a really great sword, I feel really confortable with it  and it's perfect balance is remarkable.
Also note that it's lighter than expected so it's perfect for long training sessions... The tsuka style is quite strange at first but in the end it turned out to be very comfortable!!
I'm absolutely happy with the Toppei and recommend for anyone who looks for a good sword
