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.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
The sword is absolutely beautiful and sharp enough to shave with. The scabbard is like the design is engraved into the leather before being painted silver with is pretty cool. It's sturdy and the blade fits nicely in the scabbard. All in all I'm happy with this new addition to my now 7 katana sword collection.

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.

This is my 4th sword from TK. Once again, nothing beats these. Came razor sharp, fresh coat of oil, and it doesn’t rattle either. Love this golden look as well.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Black Blade And Scabbard |
The box was taped together and the end of the kajiri was broken off. The sword looks to be in good shape. Would have given five stars if it didn’t arrive in bad shape. Any way to fix this?

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 3rd I’ve purchased with True Katana. Swords are really good quality and look great. The turn around time from ordering to receiving is excellent. Love the company and will definitely be purchasing more in the future.

Can only peak at it since it is a gift for my son and I don't want to fully open it. But looks great from what I can tell.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blue Blade And Black Leather 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.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Flower Theme Blade |
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 .
