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.

I just bought This katana and it’s beautiful. It came with dragonfly designs. This is one great piece of artwork.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword 1000 Layer Folded Steel With Red Scabbard |
A great katana with good weight for practice.
I've been looking for a dull, yet rightly weighted katana to practice Iaido with at home and this one hit the spot. The white coat does wear off somewhat quickly when sheathing, but as this is a training tool, wear and tear is expected.
Overall I'm quite satisfied with the design and quality of the katana.

Handmade Aluminum Flower Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana For Beginner Training |
Blade is beautiful. Only issue is that it is slightly warped in two directions, but it's a minor issue since it's going to be a display item.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword Full Tang With Golden Blade And Skull Tsuba |
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

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword Damascus Steel Real Hamon With Mix Color Scabbard |
Got what I paid for.
279 plus a coupon was pretty good value for what I got. Their was a few problems to be expected from a cheaper Katana but the pros outweigh the cons in this scenario. And what I received was a beautiful Katana without a doubt.

Overall the product itself was exactly what I ordered. I seemed skeptical the the sight could provide high quality blades for the decent price, but overall was impressed with how it turned out. Took about two weeks to ship!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blue Blade And Black Leather Scabbard |
Overall good replica Katana. These are nice for the cost. They are not battle ready and not very sharp. However, if you wanted a show piece these will do nicely. Keep in mind an authentic Japanese Katana will cost thousands. Some new katanas are 30k . One more thing, these are made in China not Japan. If you want a replica you will be pleased.
