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.

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.........................

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 Australia
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,

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

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!

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: I've received the Black Cane Sword right now, fast like thunder... Thank you very much for the great service and even this greater and original cane.

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

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

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. Scott

Hello Shawn, I received my Kin Tori Dai-Sho today, in exultant condition! Words

were great pictures? In this case a picture just isn't enough, you have to
hold this beautiful set in your hands to appreciate it!!! I also received the
Practical Plus Wakizashi, I am as impressed with it as I

I was really surprised that it only took four days for the swords to be delivered to an address in the UK!
