I love almost everything thing about this tanto blade. While I could nitpick over insignificant details, my only real complaint is that the blade could be sharper, but bare in mind, I've been a professional cook for nearly 30 years and I'm comparing the sharpness to culinary standards even though I have no intention of using it for cooking.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Red Scabbard And Green Handle |
The handel was glued to tang, and they had put a piece of plastic in it also. Took me 45 minutes to remove and clean all debris in handel. After reassembling, the handle was tight,so I don't know why it was glued and wedged in there.

Handmade Japanese Ninjato Sword With Black Scabbard |
So, it's a little on the heavy side. The plastic covering the blade was ripped, stand the scabbard is loaded up with the oil the blade was shipped in - so whenever I unsheath it, the blade has way too much oil on it. The hamon is super fake looking. It should have a natural hamon because in the item description, it states the blade is clay tempered. Otherwise, I am happy with it overall. I guess the next one I buy will have to be more expensive- to get the features that I thought I was getting with this one.

Handmade High Manganese Steel Gold Blade Japanese Wakizashi Sword With Black Scabbard |
Very pretty sword and scabbard. Would have been five stars if the handle didn’t have exposed pegs/studs. But it’s not really too noticeable. Very fast shipping considering the distance and supply chain issues!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Red Scabbard And Green Handle |
I simply love this katana.
I was surprised at how very well made it was, the size, the weight, and the sharpness although I'll sharpen it more.
The tsuka is wrapped in leather very securely and it's comfortable. The length is great for a sword of this weight and length. The kashira is pretty sweet as is the habaki and there's no guard, which I personally like.
I like that the blade doesn't taper but remains fairly wide throughout, it cut easily right out of the box to which it was wrapped great protecting it in shipment. The scabbard is pretty nice, wood covered and securely stitched with a clear coat over it for protection.
Overall a really nice sword, I'll be using it on my book cover.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Brown And Black Scabbard |
Arrived in timely fashion. Everything as described in many other reviews: well-packaged and preserved, with a heavy coat of oil under a plastic sleeve to protect the blade from rust. The katana itself is heavy, solid, and appears to be well-made. The edge is quite sharp, but probably not as sharp as some would prefer. This is easily remedied by someone who knows what they are doing. We haven't tried it on a pig carcass or anything yet. :) Will update should the opportunity arise.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blue Blade And White Scabbard |
The sword is a fine weapon, very sharp and light at 2 pounds. SF delivery was fast! I do question if the hamon is differentially hardened or mechanically applied. When reviewing the website and ordering there was nothing mentioning the hamon process. I would like True Katana to clarify this issue, before ordering any other swords.
