The blade itself is beautiful And it arrived pretty quick. The fittings feel solid, and the overall aesthetic is exactly what I was looking for. However, the main issue is with the scabbard. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit properly; the sword shakes inside, and if pointed downward, it falls out on its own. With that said if the saya had been properly fitted, this would have been nearly perfect.

Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Black Scabbard |
The package arrived in good shape and a few days earlier than expected.
The Shirasaya Tanto TK-JZ-KT-L190016 shortsword appears to be well made and of good quality. I will put a final edge on the blade and polish up the brass fittings to bring it to it ‘s full potential . I am very satisfied.

Top quality blade, with nice finishing touches round Fuchi and Habaki.
That said, pattern on Fuchi looks more Chinese/Korean than from Japanese origin.
All in all very happy with this purchase and will add to my collection from True Katana.

I love the Katana, it’s something I know I can use, but just a bit dull. Will buy again!

Other than the minor chipping along the scabbard and the month wait period, the piece is beautiful. The blade has a unique, kind of bubble design. It also has some nice weight to it to give a realistic feel.

I have to admit I was quite satisfied with my purchase. I took it for a few test swings and rolled a 1 and knicked concrete bad. Barely a scratch on the kissaki!

Love both of my swords but, I thought I would receive a certificate of how it was made or the type of steel used to make it but, overall great quality and and the precision of ancient sword making. Thanks
