Build quality is lacking in some areas. r
r
Packaging is terrible. It comes in a taped up Styrofoam container instead of a wooden or cardboard box. Its from China, but that's expected.r
r
The katana itself is decent and sharp.r
The outer finish on the saya is nice and looks exactly like the pictures.r
r
However, it was extremely hard to remove the katana from the saya, due to the habaki area getting stuck. I ended up having to lightly sand down the koiguchi area once I eventually got the katana out of the saya.r
r
Moreover, the blade rattles in the saya, which I'm not sure how I'm going to fix yet.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
The sword is absolutely beautiful and sharp enough to shave with. The scabbard is like the design is engraved into the leather before being painted silver with is pretty cool. It's sturdy and the blade fits nicely in the scabbard. All in all I'm happy with this new addition to my now 7 katana sword collection.

Handmade Japanese Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon Full Tang With Silver Scabbard |
Nice solid blade. Arrived quite sharp and with a bit of oil applied which is nice. Only flaw is the blade fits quite tightly into the shirasaya (scabbard) right at the tsuba but nothing a bit of light sanding won't fix (which i plan to do). Nice beginner iadio training blade, it also looks beautiful in person.

Well made katana, I received the katana just how described, I love the hamon and everything about the fitting are nice and tight how they should be, the only thing I have to complain about is the paint job of the tsuba other than that beutiful sword thank you.

overall experience:
website is easy to use, has an extremely wide selection, and explanations for different product types. i was a bit skeptical of the advertisements and customer reviews, but TrueKatana is legit. every sword they advertise is exactly how it appears when delivered; these swords are great for cosplay and iaido/iaijustu.
for sharp, “battle-ready” swords, they are reviewed to not be the sharpest or most effective for regular sharp use. however you’re better off spending more for a better piece that will last longer because TrueKatana is more for display anyways
my personal order: i ordered an aluminum non-sharp katana for practice and display; it’s a solid piece that is assembled with nice quality. would order again if ever interested in a second one. i was able to track my order as well all throughout the process
TL;DR: very honest advertisement for nice blades at reasonable prices. you get what you order. but don’t expect an amazing cutting/sharp sword; spend more money on a better sword for those purposes

This is the 4th sword ordered from TrueKatana. Everyone of them has been of high quality with fine detailed work. I believe some of the best work in the field for the price. The art work on this ninjato is fabulous. Will always look to them for my next purchase.

Excellent tracking info the whole way. Sword arrived securely packaged and in superb condition. Was bought as a present for my son after his final highschool wrestling season because a warrior deserves a good sword and now he has a great sword! We will purchase from TrueKatana again.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword Damascus Steel Real Hamon With Mix Color Scabbard |
I bought this for my father in law who is a martial artist and loves weaponry. He is also a gardener and so the design on this suited him perfectly. This man only cries when he gets things made by the grandkids… although his tears were held at bay they were there as he looked and immediately started doing his sword forms. He had a huge smile so I think he loved it.

I'm decently satisfied with the quality of the katana. The only problems I've noticed is the sword is a little dull and the koiguchi is tight. The sageo is also messed up .
