Welcome to the yard! Can't comment on the TM other than it is a laminated blade and yes while Katanas have always been made that way I'd rather have one solid bomb-proof lump of steel either sr77 or INFI for preference! CS only offer a 5 year warranty these days (unless I'm out of touch)- and that warranty speaks volumes... The 'yard warranty basically comes down to; "bring it on! For ever.."

JYD #3 Poor, but still dreaming of a sage and black SOD CG...
