Hey, here's something you can use for your testimonial page:

I received my sword and custom tsuba, and everything's arrived in good order. Thank you for your prompt and attentive support. I was going to order from a store within Canada, but your support was much better than theirs, and the price was competitive also. Thanks for everything. I'll gladly shop with you again and recommend you to my friends. Until next time.

Hi Shawn,

received the two Gorin iaito yesterday - well packed, and in perfect
shape as usual. Thanks very much. One of the two had the nicest
rayskin I've seen on a production katana yet. Also, thanks for the
mini katana - I can't believe they alternated the wrap, and tied
proper end knots. It's very impressive.

Thanks again,
jason

Dear Shawn:

My order was here within a few days! It is everything I had hoped for, but then so have the other items I have purchased from you. Thanks again for a truly remarkable experience.

Dear Sirs;

Have received the two cane swords I requested. I know myself well enough to have requested your forged high carbon item, since I knew I'd eventually ask for it; after reading your very fine feedback, and since there was such a saving (new low price PLUS 15% off) I got your black cane sword as well.

today i have received the items that i have ordered.

they are perfect and all right with shipping.

thanx,jonathan,italy

I wanted to let you know that my order for three six-pointed shaken (id# 16402589) finally came in.

They are in perfect condition and seem to be of top quality (and already sharpened), so thank you very much. Now that I've confirmed that your shipping is on the level, I may be placing more orders in the future.

Have a good one, and enjoy this holiday season, etc., etc.

Thank You Very Much - it has been a pleasure doing business with you - the service you have given me is excellent and I look forward to making future purchases

Hello,

I'm your customer from Bulgaria Margarita Takeva. I would like to thank you for the great sword, which I've received today! If I have to be honest I was little worried - there was a little delay of the supply because of the bad weather and especially I was worried because of my bad experience with one "superior" (as they called themselves undeservedly) swords-selling site. But now my worries and suspicions are all gone especially when I took out the sword from the box. It is a great sword on a really great price, one more time thank you!

I'm sure that my next sword will be ordered from your site again!

Wish You Happy Holidays

M Takeva

I received the sword and is beautiful. I am very pleased. This is my third sword from Mantis and still very happy. Thank you!

Hi Shawn,

I have finally received the sword last week. I must admit, it is awesome! I used to owned the previous paul chen PK, but this one is much better, also with better QC I think. The delivery time is excellent, although the customs is quite annoying and therefore takes longer than it should be. Thanks a lot for everything, look forward to buying again from you.

Best regards,

PS. : You may put this in your testimonials.

Hi Shawn.
I got my sword on Thursday, had time to check it out on the weekend, and it's great. Thanks a lot for your fast replies and excellent service. I will definitely buy from you again. What else can I say? Thank you very much!
I would love to post a testimonial/comment on your website.
M Botha

Thanks for replacing the defective kampilan, I thank you for your time replacing it. Mantisswords has great customer service, some companies don't take defective items back. thank you for taking your time. the handle is great and the blade is razor sharp! keep up the good work!

Hi Shawn. This is Gary from Mt. Hood Trader. I received the Katana today, September 1st not on the 5th as I had been led to believe. It is really an awesome

looking sword. I am very much satisfied with this purchase. You had a sale at just the right time for me. Thanks very much, Gary

Hello Mantis Swords,

I sat for 3 hours on the net looking at your site (AFTER) my order had arrived hoping I didn't make a mistake. The package I leaned on my computer desk shadowing me and begged to be opened, I was fearful that it would not be of the quality, strength, and beauty of the Strait Practical Katana I had ordered. I just knew in my own mind something had to be wrong, the sword was bent, not the one I ordered, blade not sharp, saya made of plastic, and unsure of an internet purchase! Finally I opened the box slid out the black bamboo Hanwei box pulled apart the form fitting foam and picked up the most stunning work of art! Exact in all aspects and identical to the photos on your internet site. Every part of this sword is quality. The blade is razor sharp and perfectly strait. The saya is amazing and as much a work of art as the sword itself. I cannot say enough (oh shipping was very fast as well :) I am more than please with this sword it is everything and more than I hoped for Thank you!

I would recommend Mantis Swords to everybody

PS It has already made me feel like a Ninja because the price was a steal

T Mazell

Hi,

I received the Hicho today, was mighty impressed. The grain of the metal is wonderful. I feel that I not only bought a sword but a piece of art work as well. Thanks, you have made my day and most likely my year. Can't wait for the Gorin Diasho to arrive.

PS. I like the description on the paper work and how much it is worth. I hope doing it with this method does not get you into trouble.

K McNelley Australia

Hi people at mantis world.

Got the pieces this morning. Absolutely stunning, looking forward to replacing my worn out iai katana hand wrap tonight so will put new fittings on then.

Thanks a bunch and hope to do business again.

E. Taylor

Hey shawn, my names josh and i just bought my 4th sword from mantis and once again, i am completely blown away! I just bought the iaido nami wakizashi and the detail and precision in the quality of this sword is unparalleled. Thanks for the great service and as always GREAT swords. and bye the way i have sent a few pictures of the swords i have bought from you guys. hope you like them!

Dear Shawn.

My practical strait katana was delivered to Europe in 10 days without any problems. Great!

It is really amazing sword for that price. It is not my first one, but definitely the most practical. I will order next one for my friend very soon.

Bye, Martin.

I received the yanling / song broadsword yesterday & just wanted to let

you know how satisfied I am with the purchase. I have been a practitioner

of White Crane Kung Fu for 34 years & the sword is the finest saber I have

come across yet. Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you.........................

M. Rocha

My Tsuru Iaito Katana came on Tuesday, great shipping time. After just holding it in my hands, the weight feels great, and it handles like a dream.

it looks fantastic, much better than in photos. The impressive crane tsuba absolutely the best feature, although the blood grooves are cool.

I also got 2 sets of Shaken, they look awesome.

Very happy with both purchases, with such a great price and fast service, i'll definately be buying from you again in future.

regards,

S.B

hey mantis swords,

i received my order. i am very pleased with the quality of the blade and the craftsmanship for the price. i am overwhelmingly pleased with the speediness of the delivery and hope to do business with you in the future. i plan on getting the skull cane sword, banshee cutting blade and am looking closely at the orchid sword set. i only have one question. how long does it take to ship from Japan if i purchase the two-day shipping? or do you already have them on hand?

thanks,

brettastic

Hi Shawn,

I received my Paul Chen Practical Katana on Friday 7th July 2006. It is great and in good condition despite the long distance freight to Singapore. I am very pleased with the good services, prompt replies and bargain price that Mantis provided. I hope you will include my testimony at your website.

Thanks and best regards

T. Yeow

Shawn:

The sword arrived yesterday. Thanks for your care in the packaging. The delay due to customs and argentine mail was the usual. The sword has very good quality/price ratio, and your attention and very good prices too. Was a delight buying from Mantis and, hope soon, you will hear of me for a wakizashi and others. Thanks again

Dear Shawn, I just got my Nihonto Hoso Katana and the pictures do not give it any justice . It really is light as a feather and as flexible as dragon scales, in short one great sword . yours truly D. Henderson. PS once again a great sword.

Hi Shawn,

Received my 2 sword carrying bag yesterday an it is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for getting this to me only a couple of days after placing my order.

This is the second item I have ordered from you (the first was a Nami Iaito) and I have been extremely pleased on both occasions with both the product and the service.

Many thanks,

D. Combs

Beach mats arrived yesterday, super fast shipping , and I thank you for the larger beach mat offer I just don’t have a tank or place to soak the larger size. You guy’s are great I will always return to your store .Thanks again

L. Toth J

Dear Shawn,

I recently purchased one of your new tachi (the brown and orange version) and wanted you to know it is absolutely the most beautiful Japanese sword I have ever seen--and I have several in my collection. It is equal in quality to even the high-end and much more expensive Paul Chen swords. I have been looking for a good tachi all over the Internet for almost two years now, and the only ones I've been able to find are cheap (though not necessarily

inexpensive) decorative replicas (with fake gold-chromed tsubas, for example). So when you put this one on your site, I instantly knew I'd found the real deal, and knew what a prize it was. This

And unlike some shopping experiences on the Web, this sword is actually much MORE impressive in real life than in your display photos, which don't do it justice at all.

I am so impressed with the craftsmanship and detail on this tachi. I'm glad I chose the Brown and Orange one, as the speckled "burnt" orange enamel on the saya is really elegant--much more than one can tell from the pictures on your website. (I was afraid it might be a bright, garish orange, or a Chinese red, but it's not.) It's very authentic looking and I'm delighted by how closely it resembles some of the most distinctive historic tachi that are exhibited in my photo-books of Japanese Samurai swords.

Thank you very much for carrying this line, and know that your efforts and service are well appreciated.

Dear Shawn:

I got my products as promised and thank you for your excellent service on the sword bag, cover and shipping!!

I will use your store from now on for other products: I have a need for a few Iaido Swords and will be placing an order!!

Sincerely,

A very satisfied customer

Howard

Sean:

I am continuously impressed and pleased with the products you offer! Not only are they reasonably priced, but they are of good quality as well. Not a very common combo. I have received my practical + wakazashi, and it looks good-- cuts really well too! this is the 5th sword I have ordered from you, and there will be more. Feel free to post this on your site if you would like-- I tell people to shop your site if they are looking for good Japanese weapons, kinda like free advertising!

J. Hernandez

I received your product today. Thank you for you expedient delivery. It was very well packaged and in perfect condition. I hope to do further purchasing from you in the future. After I have tested it I again will notify you. I’m sure it will prove itself. Thank You again. Jerry

Shawn

I just wanted to let You know that I received my Practical katana in the mail today.

Great looking sword Thanks very much for the speedy delivery. I will Definitely Order from you again. thx

Kaylee

Thank you, Mr. Salafia!

Every item that I have ordered from Mantis in the past has been the highest quality. I believe that this is a testament to the excellent level of in-house quality control procedures, since (as I am sure you already know) it is not always easy to deal with production items from Hanwei. This also makes Mantis an excellent resource for the growing community of sword enthusiasts.

The fact that you honored the price-matching offer really seals it for me. From now on, I will never shop elsewhere for production swords except Mantis.

I am confident that I will be able to maintain this opinion of Mantis with the arrival of the Tiger tanto. I hope you will be pleased to know that I am planning on writing a good review for it on SFI. More people in the community need to hear about Mantis!

Thank you again for everything.

Sincerely,

J.H. Lee

Just a short note to say that I have received my Practical Katana today in good condition. It is indeed everything I expected . Just for your database information the Trinidad and Tobago duty charge , if imported

for personal use works out to be roughly $140.00TT. I really

appreciate the manner in which my transaction was processed. Thanks again.

D. St George

Dear Shawn:

Mantis Swords,

I recently purchased a sword cane from your company, the quality was more than I expected. I purchased the Black Lacquer finish skull cane. It is very dressy and I use a cane a lot. It is supporting my weight (200 Lbs.)

I will make another purchase soon.

Thanks

M. Payne

Dear Shawn,

I have just got my Practical Pro Katana, I'm really amazed for the toughness and high quality of the product, please, feel free to post this up, again, thank you so much for your service and product, good luck!.

Hello Shawn,

the sword arrived here a few days ago in a very good shape. Thanks alot for the fast and professional delivery and service. The sword is very beautiful and it exceeded my expectations.

Thanks very much

Dr.Thomas K.

Hi, I just wanted to say that Mantisswords has the best service I've experienced yet. I will definitely be ordering from you again,
Thank you,
Chris.

First of all before I talk about the sword, I'd like to thank Mantis Swords and it's entire billing staff for making a payment plan which allowed me to receive a sword like this by agreeing to a biweekly plan until the balance was paid off. What great cooperation!

At about 3:40 PM today, I had received my Tsunami Samurai sword and as I open it up, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful scabbard that concealed the sword and next, the quality. The sword is an Excellent sword. You guys will be hearing again from me soon. Thanks Again.

C Edwards

Shawn,

I received my Musashi sword yesterday, thanks so much for extreme speed of delivery! The sword is superb! I am very happy with both the quality and great price! You will always have my business and I will refer everyone in my dojo as well.

I just want to thank you for your follow up and expedient processing of my order. The order was placed on the weekend and, surprisingly, I received this confirmation e-mail shortly afterward. The items were received via UPS by Tuesday without issue.

This is my second order from Mantis and I couldn't be happier with the service. You can't ask for more than an two business days from the time you place an order to the time it is received. Your commitment to excellent service is clear and this should maintain a loyal customer following for Mantis Sword. Thanks again for the outstanding service and product offering.

Thank you

Vaughn G.

Hi Shawn,

Wow! Thanks for that gracious offer, but I wouldn’t do that to anyone. It just doesn’t seem fair. With employees, kids, two dogs and a wife – I now allow for life’s “mistakes” and yours was certainly just an oversight - albeit an excitable one for me as I’ve been admiring this type of sword for awhile.

Thanks-a-million; you are indeed a class-act!

Regards, Mark

Hello Shawn,

I have received today, the banshee. It 's very beautiful.

Thank so much.

CHAU

Excellent! The Item I ordered arrived on Friday November 4th it's a fine cutting blade I plan to order something else in the near future.

Dear Shawn: I received my Hanwei Practical Plus Katana II today, the sword arrived in perfect condition! And it is everything I expected and more!! I especially like the star burst tsuba, I could ramble on about the complete sword, but will sum it up by saying the sword is beautiful and the service from you and everyone at Mantis Swords was outstanding!!! And when I decide to step up on my next order it will be from MANTIS SWORDS!!! Thanks again........... C.W. in Ca.

Hello mantis, my name is Josh.. I just bought the practical katana 2 and frankly...i have never seen a nicer sword in my hole entire life. I own 10 swords ( all of them are samurai swords ) and this one is my favorite. It was also the cheapest sword on the site and still, its quality was unbeatable. Thank you mantis swords for being the number one dealer i will look at when i am looking to buy a samurai katana...

Josh

Thank you i had just received my black cane sword i ordered it Monday and received it Wednesday. the product was more than i expected. I will be a returning customer

Hello Shawn,

I received the sword (Practical Katana II) a couple of days ago, it was stuck in customs, but, well, that things happen. Anyway, the sword is gorgeous, and it is missing nothing. I am really happy with my purchase and most of all with the fast service you guys provide.

Thank you very much.

Geyner

Thanks Shawn,

I have to say I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the service you offer as well as the sword I received. I will be recommending you to anyone who asks about getting good usable swords.

Thanks again for all your help,

Thank you again.

I received my Practical Tanto this morning and am pleased to say my first purchase from Mantis Swords was perfect. Well packed, inspected as requested and delivered on time. Thank you kindly

R. Hagelganz

Hi Shawn,

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I received the swords yesterday. I was really surprised that it only took four days for the swords to be delivered to an address in the UK! In fact, I'm so satisfied with the speed of delivery and standard of service that I think it's fair to say that you can expect another order in the near future.

Regards,Colin

Dear Shawn,

I've just received the practical II katanaI've bought from your site. The delivery was swift and the sword is beautiful. The katana sliced through the goza mats I've bought with almost no resistance and came out clean. Thank you for such wonderful swords at such a reasonable price.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the great customer service, and the practical katana is fantastic. You run a great site, and I will definitely be a returning customer.

Shawn,

Just thought I'd let you know i got my order, and that I am very pleased with the katana and wakizashi!!! Shipped Monday, and received Friday

I have long been a fan of the Samurai myth and history, and have dreamed of owning a set of quality swords. But all that seemed to be available were the El-cheapo 20 dollar swords. So i was thrilled when I found your site that sold high quality swords at affordable prices.

I'm looking forward to doing business with you in the future!!!

Take care

Hi Shawn,

Received my order in a short amount of time and it is excellent quality, will be doing more business with you in the future.

Thank you so much for the Hanwei single sword carrying bag; it's just what I need and is much more than what I expected. It looks very durable and has lots of pockets for accessories, and it fit my sword just right. Your service was also very helpful, timely, and the product arrived quickly and in great shape.

Thanks again, I'll remember Mantis Swords.

Dear Mantis Swords, Just wanted to say thank you for the great sword (Practical katana Plus Katana II)! It's worth every penny.

Hello, this is P. L. again, I've just received the Practical Katana sword I ordered some time ago, thank you so much! it's just what I wanted.

Hello Shawn,

I placed an order for a couple of Paul Chen Tsubas last Saturday, then placed another order that Monday...BOTH orders arrived on Wednesday! Thanks for quick shipping and great prices! I was just going to buy one or two, but I'm hooked and will be ordering more. Thanks again,

J. S.

Please put this in your feedback section. I received my practical Katana II today and am VERY happy with it. I thank you for the fast transaction and the quality sword at such an affordable price.

S.H.

dear mantis swords. i received my practical katana ii a few days ago. you guys have fast service. the sword is beautiful and fits well in my hand and also has great balance. it is very sharp and over many test cuts, not one nick on the blade appeared. this is the best sword i own and you guys must value quality and craftsmanship

thanks,

E.R.

The sword arrived yesterday. It is great and thanks for the wonderful and efficient service!!

M. H. F.

Heh. Well you guys are quick! The same day I ordered you processed my order. I love fast processing. Some companies have nice shipping options, but take over a week to process the order. I like your quick processing and shipping times. You also responded lightning quick to my query about one of your products; which encouraged me to make my purchase the following day. I love good e-mail support. The sword is great. I asked my teacher about this company and he knew right away that you guys are known for quality. I've never been to your story in a physical way. But you're quality shows through your products and online presents. I like the weight of my sword. Good quality. Though I wish you could use 36" blade. But other than that the quality is pretty nice & your price is fantastic! Thanks for such quick, excellent service! Also, you should keep the option of sharpened swords. I found your exact sword at two other places but you were the ONLY one who offered it sharpened right at the order page. I will be returning by the end of June for those butterfly swords I enquired about!

dear shawn

yesterday i received my practical plus 2, and MAN THIS SWORD IS AWESOME! just wanted to let u know i really appreciate it and u can count on me coming back for any more of my weaponry needs (well, hellashisly WANTS). THANKS! B.

Hi Shawn,

The katana arrived today as promised, thank you, the blade is exquisite and your service was excellent. I’ll contact you when I’m ready to complete the set. After owning a lot of lesser quality blades it is truly a delight to own such a work of art. Thanks again.

Tim

Thank you for the great communication your company provided and I will be sure to tell other collectors about your company. I really appreciate your customer service thank you again.

Sincerely D.

My sword arrived today. I am extremely pleased with the obvious quality, and will immediately begin saving for one of the more "elite" swords you sell. I am a very satisfied customer.

Thanks,

Just letting you know I just received my nami katana and it is excellent. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to ordering from you again in the future.

Dear Mantis Swords,

Thank you for the safe delivery of my order. For a similar price to the decorative (ie- stainless steel) items here in Australia, I was able to import a functional blade. Quality is very good, and I will be doing business with you again.

SENSEI W. F.

To Mantis Swords,

I had recently ordered the Gorin Iaito katana and I was so pleased with it I just had to order another

sword from you. So next I ordered the Nami Iaito katana. Both of these swords are great!! If you decide

to sell any other styles of Iaito swords you can be sure that I'll be one of the first to buy them. Thank you

for your quick service and I look forward to doing business with you again very soon.

J.Q.-CA.

have to tell you, I've had the Practical Katana for a few weeks now and I could not be happier, thank you guys so much. It works very well for cutting, when i was practicing it had the cleanest cut i have ever seen, thats why i'm going to buy the P. Plus katana.

you can email me back at EXXXXXX@cox.net

Dear Sir,

It is nice to know that there are still business out there who are honorable enough to stand by there word or in this case print regardless of how elementary the problem. It is fitting that your products are noble weapons of old. Like the honorable katana stay sharp, honorable and true and never waver no matter how tempting lawlessness can become.

Thank you and hope to do business with you again soon.

Dear Mantis Swords-

My gratitude cannot be fully expressed in words. I received my order very quickly, 4 business days after I placed the order I had one Paul Chen Practical Wakizashi in my hands. The quality of the weapon is excellent. I am learning a bit if Iaido-style swordsmanship from my martial arts instructor; he was so impressed by the blade that he intends to order a Paul Chen wakizashi from you in the near future as well. Thank you for your expedience and excellent service,

Hi Shawn. I just received today my New Practical Katana II. I am very impressed with the quality, looks and feel of this, my first real Katana. I order it on Friday and today Wednesday it's here. It even came with a Cloth Bag that is very useful. This new sword is Great, I can't take my eyes from it. Great service, great Swords. Looking forward to do more business in the future. Thank you again.

M. A. M.

the sword is everything I expected, and I just want to thank ya'll at mantis for staying true to quality.

Dear Shawn

I'm absolutely stunned with the beauty and craftsmanship of the blade. It is the most beautiful thing i have seen in a long time. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and have no second thoughts about I will definitely continue being one of mantis swords happy costumers.

Sincerely

J. M.

Hi, I received my order yesterday and I just wanted to thank you for the really quick delivery! I ordered on Thursday and the sword arrived Tuesday afternoon. Excellent service. I have trained with swords for 17 years, and when my old one broke I never thought I would find quality again. I was wrong, you've delivered an excellent product one that I hope I will never have to replace! Thank you Shawn!

C. L.

Received my sword cane this evening, and I must say it is of excellent quality, and actually more than I expected for the minimal price. Thanks so very much. I will contact you the first of the month with another order.

Regards, J.

Shawn,
I just wish to thank you for the Practical Katana Plus sword that I ordered. An upper rank in my Aikido dojo inspected the sword and made a stunning cut with it. He was pleased with its weight, balance, construction, etc. This may become the sword that our dojo recommends to 1st Dan students. In Aikido I have at least a year more of study before I become 1st Dan. I'm in no great hurry, however. I simply enjoy practice. But the sword will serve me well in the meantime.
Best regards,
J. G.

Just arrived!

your service is very fast: 6 working days to receive the Iaito in Italy: great! you answered to ALL my mail (a lot of mail...) quickly I like the Gorin Iaito, well detailed, large and easy to handle bag. I hope in further business with you.

M. P.

you can put my feedback in your site, in Italian is:

Appena arrivato! servizio rapidissimo, 6 giorni lavorativi per ricevere lo iaito in Italia: grande! avete risposto a TUTTE le mie mail (molte mail) immediatamente Mi piace lo iaito Gorin, ben rifinito, la borsa è ampia e comoda. Spero di fare ancora affari con voi

Good morning Shawn,

You know what, you guys are so fast, I just got the order last night, when I got home! Wow, that's all I have to say.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so fast. Thank you for everything, and what a great job you guys are doing.

Mantis Swords:

I've received my ordered items on Friday, January 2nd 2004. My package contained a 28 in. Gorin Iaito, and the free Mini Tachi letter opener. I thought I'd e-mail you to thank you for your quick service, and let you know that everything is great. I've begun training with the Gorin, and I am quite satisfied. I hardly let it leave my side. In fact, it's next to me now as I write this. The letter opener is amusing, and quite a bit sharper than I thought it would be. I hope to do business with you again sometime in the future. Domo arigatou gozeimashita.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy my new straight katana. It certainly was a pleasant surprise and well worth the money.

Mr. Salafia, I just received my sword today and I must say that I am impressed with the feel of it. I look forward to purchasing other items in the future.

I RECEIVED MY ORDER LAST NIGHT THANKS FOR THE FAST SHIPPING AND AFTER LOOKING THEM OVER I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE AND SAY I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THEM AND YOUR COMPANY'S SERVICE. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT SPENDING THAT MUCH MONEY WITH A COMPANY I DID NOT KNOW. WHAT SOLD ME ON BUYING FROM YOU WAS THE APPARENT QUALITY AND DETAIL IN YOUR SWORDS AND YOUR CUSTOMER FEEDBACK SECTION. I WILL BUY FROM YOU AGAIN. (customer bought an Orchid three sword set for $2449.99)

Thanks for your speedy service in my recent purchase of a Paul Chen Practical Straight Katana. I placed the order on Sunday the 8th of December, and received it yesterday, the 13th of December. Your regular price was $40 less than my local sword dealer's price for the same sword... I'm very pleased with the sword and your service, and would recommend your dealership to anyone else buying swords. And you can quote me on that, or put this e-mail on your website.

J. S. Colorado Springs, CO

Happy Holidays to you, too! Thank you for your service and your product. As you know, I have ordered a few swords you offer. I am very pleased with them. I do "cut" with them and I have been very pleased with their performance. I look forward to doing business with you in 2003!

Thanks a bunch, L. Dowagiac, MI

This is not a question or a complaint, so you're probably not expecting to read an email like mine. I just wanted to tell you how anxious and excited I am about getting the bamboo katana you're selling. I have made several weekly payments for it and I guess I'm about half way there. Every Friday I am happier than the last because I know it won't be as long until you ship it to me. You're store is the best I have seen yet, as far as customer service is concerned. You matched the price of a competitor, gave me the option of a payment plan, and impressed me with impressed me with your kindness and sincerity when I called with a couple of questions. Thank you for making me happy. You guys are doing a great job, and it's important that you know that.

J.L.

I got my sword yesterday. It is, without a doubt, the best sword for under $200. I am very happy and will refer as many customers as I can. Thanx again.

J.H. St. Louis Park, MN

p.s. when i am ready for a good sword, you will be hearing from me.

Hello, my name is ### and I just recently purchased a practical katana (order # 999999) from your company. I am just writing this brief email to tell you how satisfied I am with your company. Everything about the transaction was good. The price was lower than I expected and the workmanship of the katana has exceeded my expectations. Also my order was processed and shipped promptly and I was notified in a friendly manner that my order had been shipped. So I am just saying thanks, and I look forward to doing business with your company in the future.

Thanks again,
