SHAWN THANKS FOR THE SHIPPING I STILL CANT BELIEVE I HAVE THE WIND AND THUNDER KATANA, I FEEL LIKE DOING KILL BILL 3 JEJE ITS SIMPLY PERFECT, ITS REALLY A HEAVY SWORD AND WITH SUCH BEAUTIFUL DETAILS I WILL DEFINITELY BUY SEVERAL MORE SWORDS 

THANKS AGAIN FROM VENEZUELA

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

Wow! Even with all the positive feedback I am truly amazed! What a beautiful sword. I will definitely order from you again in the future. Thank you so much for your wonderful business. Keep up the good work.

I have received yesterday the helmet, very swift delivery indeed! The quality is wonderful for such a low price. I will not hesitate to order you further articles.

I just received the sword. I have only one word to say: WOW!!!!

Thanks for everything

R.D.

I'm happy and looking forward to getting my next package from you guys. i will spread the word about your site to friends b/c I've been very impressed and happy with you products and professionalism. plus, your prices are decent and realistic compared to other places. (i don't feel like I'm getting ripped off.)

Hey, Shawn. I just received the cane sword a couple of days ago. Wow, Totally love it. Thank you very much. Your friend. Paul a. Torres

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I received the Wind and Thunder Katana last week; it looks beautiful to me (of course I'm not the one to impress); I'm certain my fiance will love the gift. Thank you for your service.

C. R. Chapel Hill, NC

I just wanted to compliment you on your customer service and the quality of the item I ordered. I will definitely order from your site again.

Thanks, M. Culich

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.

My packages is arrived today in very good conditions. All was alright, and I'm very well surprised with the black cane, because the quality is high, and the hamon is so beautiful !

Thank you very much Have a nice day.

I got the sword bag today and it's gorgeous, thank you! And very very fast delivery. Many many thanks - I'm sure Mark will absolutely love it.

The Nami katana I purchased for my son is of excellent quality & craftsmanship. A great improvement from the wood swords he has trained with in the past. Your prices are unmatched, we look forward to doing business with you again 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.

i received my tiger wakizashi a few days ago, and wow! i was totally blown away, it is the most beautiful sword i have ever seen, and it only took 4 days to get to me.

Nick

Dear Mantis Swords,   Just wanted to say thank you for the great sword (Practical katana Plus Katana II)!  It's worth every penny.  Not only was the shipping fast but the shipping price was extremely reasonable!  One of the greatest companies I've ever dealt with.  I will definitely be shopping here more to buy all my sword and accessories.  Once again thank you very much.

I have recently purchased the Musashi Sword set plus the Oda Nobunaga helmet. It is easy to sum up your service and products in one word. Great !

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. I have a couple of friends down here who also collect certain swords as I do, and truthfully they were completely impressed. For the price and quality it is one of the best made swords we have ever seen. thanks again, for the service, the manufacturing, maintaining in contact, and the timing. take care, hope to make business with you again soon. Puerto Rico

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,

S.H.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for such speedy response and delivery! I just received my Practical Plus II Katana today, right on time. The blade and mounts are very satisfactory (especially the fuchi and kashira with cherry blossoms).

M.M.

I just wanted to thank you for the great customer service. I received my tactical tanto on May 7, exactly 3 days after I placed the order. It looks great and feels a lot more expensive that what I paid.

Cheers, J

Dear Mantis sword,  my order has arrived today in good condition. Thank you for the fast communications and service. m.d. in hawaii

I received my Practical Plus Katana II tonight, and I'm loving it. Great sword for a great price. I wanted to thank you for your quick and reliable service throughout our dealings with each other. I most definitely look forward to doing business again in the future and I will be recommending your web site to some of my friends and practice partners. Thanks!

H.C. CA

I received the Practical Katana II and I am well pleased. The workmanship is excellent, and the blade is everything I expected for less than I would ever have thought to pay. I will definitely be ordering the companion Wakizashi. The delivery was fast, and I was pleasantly surprised by the cloth bag as well.

Hi Shawn,

I received my practical plus today, and I am very impressed.  Thank you for the transaction, and I will be sure to recommend you!

E. H.

today I received the Practical Katana Plus. What a fast service! The Sword is really a great thing, a perfect work! I thank you very much.

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, 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!

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.

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.

The Templar arrived today. It was just like I remembered from having handled one once. It is beautiful, and the balance on it is just what I was looking for.

I just wanted to thank you for being so accommodating with my order. I received the Golden Oriole katana (kin tori) that I ordered and it's absolutely exquisite! Your company's service was also wonderful (very fast, and the sword was packaged extremely well). Thanks again!

i have just received my cane today , and wanted to tell you how delighted i am . The craftsmanship is awesome . I hope to do more business with you in the future.

Thank you .

J. W.

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. I was a little concerned about ordering online, but you've definitely made a believer out of me. It is a great sword and exactly what I wanted. Again, thank you very much. SGT M. F.

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.

Received my Tsuba order. They are perfect, can't decide which one I will use on the sword that I'm putting together and which will be displayed with my Tsuba collection. Thanks for a great a great product & quick service, I will be ordering more from your company in the future.

hi I just received my sword at 2:30 pm today and I am really please to how well it is made. thanks a lot and ill be doing more business with you in later days thanks a lot bye

I got the sword. I cant believe how fast you got it to me, within 24 hrs of ordering it I had it in my hands. I love it, it feels and looks great. This is my first real sword and I couldn't be more pleased. (customer ordered a Practical Plus Katana)

Thanks

I like your site and the prices. Customer service, Lisa was very polite and patient to answer my questions. Shawn's e-mail response was quick. I definitely plan to order from here again.

Dear Mantis Swords,

I received my $90.00 cane sword, from your company, today. I am very pleased. You obviously care about your craftsmanship. I can only imagine what your $500.00 cane swords are like. If I make more money, then I will be back. In the mean time, I am very happy with my purchase.

Sincerely,

A. L.

I would just like to say that your swords are beautiful.  Even from the digital photos I've seen they look remarkable

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! 

Yours,

Michael !

I received the Tsuba today and it is great! I will use your site again and recommend it to others.

Thanks again...

Thanks again. Your service is awesome. I have quite a few friends that are either sword collectors or martial artists and I will definitely be recommending Mantis Swords to all of them.

Thanks a bunch, L. Dowagiac, MI

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.
