The personal plus katana, also known as the PPK is an excellent "I want a real katana" intro level sword. Sure you could spend a few hundred extra dollars and get a folded production blade. But if your into blade polishing or tsuka-maki then your not going to want to start with somthing so expensive. I've cut 300+ bottles and a good share of green bamboo and the sword is still razor sharp. Im in the long process of giving it a facelift. Full polish, that is taking forever by the way. Im also rewrapping the tsuka after shortening and changing the saego and saya color. Its a great sword to experiment or should I say learn on.
