Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!

Two very elegant sword stands - photo shows the double but the single is also excellent. Both pieces are simply constructed of very pleasing wood, assembly was easy and took only a minute or two. I am very happy with both these pieces and would recommend them. They may have been designed for katana, but I use them exclusively for Chinese dao and jian swords, and they are perfect for these.

Really nice quality. Well balanced, and looks really cool! The sheath snaps on perfectly with no wobble, it’s actually very satisfying.
Packaging was a little messy, since the foam got damaged during shipping, the Katana was perfectly fine though!

I absolutely LOVE this Copper Tanto!
It really is the length of a dirk as it is too long for a dagger and too short for a short sword.
I would categorize this as a dirk, not a tanto.
Having said that:
The fit was superb, with a nice and light, audible click as the dirk is sheathed in the scabbard and locks into place. The patterns and décor of the piece is wonderful. This is a quality piece. The steel of the blade itself is high quality, and can be seen as a pattern steel in all of its splendor.
There was a small burr on one of the hanger rings, but nothing a little rat tail file couldn't take care of. That is going to happen from time to time with manufacturing like this.
The Wakizashi was also very nice. The steel of the blade has a real hamon and is quite sharp indeed. The handle was a little bit on the large side, however, for those with larger hands, this is not going to be a problem. The fit of the saya on the blade was a little too loose and required my attention to add a small shim to properly fit the blade and scabbard. All the same, this is a beautiful piece, and that's why I chose it. It's a keeper.

Very beautiful and detailed craftsmanship. Love this for practicing Iai draws. Do not expect to use this as a bokken! The katana is very light and is not intended for dueling. However, is very nice as a showpiece or for simply practicing draws. I am extremely satisfied with this sword and the attention to detail. I am definitely interested in adding more to my collection. Shipping was laggy but very worth the wait. I highly recommend this to anyone learning Iai or just wants something cool to display.

Description was accurate and it’s very well made. Shipping was about two weeks which is on the speedy side from China. Very happy and will very likely purchase the real deal from this merchant after practicing with the wooden one. Great work, guys.

Absolutely stunning, and worth every cent. Looks exactly like the photographs. Nice weight overall, the sheath is solid hardwood, full-tang blade is fairly sharp damascus steel, and the hilt is wrapped with real rayskin. A battle-ready work of art!
