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.

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 Japanese Katana Sword With Black Blade And Scabbard |
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

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.

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.
