I decided to go with either of these Katanas from bugei. Can anyone give me their impressions of both swords? I want this sword mostly for decorative purposes but I decided to go with these instead of the golden oriole because they have a more authentic look at least in my opinion. I have never handled a katana but these are my favorite. Not looking to do much cutting but would like to go with the best cutter from the two. So Bugei's Crane or Samurai....which one??!!! Thanks!
 
The Samurai cuts extremely well....we were gifted one at the dojo about 14 years ago, and it still performs well.....I have no experience with the Crane.

Best Regards,
