#katana #killbill #review

In tihs video, I take a close look at RyanSword's $135, Kill Bill-inspired katana. While I am not particularly a Kill Bill fan and can't really talk about how close it is to the original design, I can talk, at length, about the sword's design, execution, and how well it cuts.

Buy one of these swords at RyanSword:
