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.

Well I can say that the sword is a work of art with out a doubt I can also say that it is made of cheaper parts besides the metal that I ordered. The craftsmanship is not to bad but not incredible. It is good for its price range. But I can't see myself using it to learn any new skills.
On a different note there was a bit of shipping damage SO PLEASE be
warned!

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

I really didn't have much knowledge when ordering the Golden Blade Katana from True Katana for my boyfriend, but once he opened it, I knew I made the right choice. He loved the hand crafted sword and was very impressed. This is an amazing sword for the price and I will definitely buy from here again!!

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.

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 .

Craftsmanship is there. Not just the price. Edge geometry and handle built to last. Given my first wakizashi when I was 7. This will be a great starter till next time. Thanks guys.

Bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift and he totally freaked out! I don’t know a thing about Samurai swords, but this felt and looked very well made and legit. It even shipped faster from Japan than things I was waiting for one state away. He’s sending videos of it to his friends and family and making everyone jealous as we speak! I will definitely return here for more cool swords to add to his new collection. Thank you!

This is the second sword I have bought from True Katana. I love the quality and the variety of swords offered here. This sword has a laser etched pattern on the blade. It has black ink in the etched pattern, however, on one side the ink only partially covers the pattern and fades to nothing. Really though, I still love this sword and I would buy it again.
