Both swords are good quality and well crafted. Shipping took a little longer than expected but I am happy with my purchase.

Handmade Aluminum Brown Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana For Beginner Training |
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 Aluminum Brown Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana For Beginner Training |
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.

Handmade Japanese Straight Edge Sword Full Tang |
The first order a full-size katana was exceptional, I mean it was/is perfect. The craftsmen and artists who made it must be commended, beautiful work. The tanto sword not so much. The tsuka mountings, fuchi and kashira, extend above the tsuka-ito and make it uncomfortable to hold. The habaki fit to the saya was loose and the blade rattled in the saya but I was able to fix both. The sageo wrap on the saya was loose but I can tighten it myself. It appears the attention to fit was a bit off as was the quality control for that sword. But I understand we all have off days. At first glance the tanto looks good and when displayed with the katana as intended it will do.
On the upside dealing with TrueKatana was a pleasure! Thank you.

Handmade Japanese Sword With Black Leather Scabbard And Strap |
The product is good however it had a strange musty smell. When you put the katana in the case sometimes it doesn't fit properly.
It is not the first time I buy here as you can see from the photo nor will be the last despite the inconvenience.

Handmade Japanese Tachi Odachi Sword Pattern Steel With Black 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 .

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
This sword was the 2nd sword I've purchased from here. I ordered this one for my brother and had it sent directly to him, so I don't have a photo of the sword. But he video called me to show me. Oh my goodness! Photos on here really do not do these swords justice! These swords are breathtaking and incredibly well made. I definitely plan on purchasing one for myself next!

Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Tanto Sword Pattern Steel With Black 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.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With White Scabbard |
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!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Black Blade And Scabbard |
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.
