Does anyone have any experience with the Cicada Forge line of folded Katanas? Any opinions on these swords would be highly appreciated.

I know a guy with a sword from cicada. We started talking about the paul chen swords vs. other makers, and he would not stop talking about this sword from cicada. he said the balance was excellent and finish was top quality.

I did not see the blade myself, but if his excitement about this blade was any indication, it is a top notch blade.

I've heard much the same thing in the info I've managed to obtain. I"m becoming more "sold" on the idea each day! lol

Paul Smith has submitted the results of his comparison of these two brands of sword for tameshigiri. You can find his post in the "General" discussion group at Swordforum.
