The blade itself is beautiful And it arrived pretty quick. The fittings feel solid, and the overall aesthetic is exactly what I was looking for. However, the main issue is with the scabbard. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit properly; the sword shakes inside, and if pointed downward, it falls out on its own. With that said if the saya had been properly fitted, this would have been nearly perfect.

Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Black Scabbard |
I purchased a full tang battle ready Damascus katana for myself. My selection is a simple design at nearly a thousand US dollars. That level of investment was based one two factors, positive rati gs of prior purchasers and my experience while living in Japan as a child. After several days of running the sword I bought two wazikaski and a tachi for my son and daughter (respectively) as heirloom items for them to pass onto future generations. r
All four are well build instruments. I am very happy to have found True Katana...and will likely buy more because of the craftsmanship (but do not expect to ever need another based of quality and performance of my initial purchase).

Had a slight tweak to it either from shipping or during the quenching process but very decent edge doesn't affect the cutting performance much hard to notice unless you point out the bend but its $230 so cant compalin to much it functions and holds strong

Handmade Japanese Ninjato Sword Damascus Steel With Black Ebony Scabbard |
The package arrived in good shape and a few days earlier than expected.
The Shirasaya Tanto TK-JZ-KT-L190016 shortsword appears to be well made and of good quality. I will put a final edge on the blade and polish up the brass fittings to bring it to it ‘s full potential . I am very satisfied.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword Damascus Steel |
Great piece. Only 4 stars though because the scabbard is so loose the blade will slip out. Also the blade is not very sharp. Overall still happy with the purchase.

Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Black Scabbard |
Top quality blade, with nice finishing touches round Fuchi and Habaki.
That said, pattern on Fuchi looks more Chinese/Korean than from Japanese origin.
All in all very happy with this purchase and will add to my collection from True Katana.
