This Tanto is simple and elegant. Just what I wanted. A couple of finish points could be improved, to be honest. The Saya, scabbard, had a small raised rough spot from debris in the finish. The point where the Habaki, ferrule, meets the blade at the Mune-Machi, notch at the back, is rough due to uneven surface match of the two metals. The Ha, cutting edge, had a bur. This was easy to remedy with less than five minutes of sharpening. Not razor sharp, but it will pop a few hairs. To be fair, the price was reasonable, it was handmade, and it was shipped quickly. Customer service was excellent for me. They responded in a timely manner and were very nice. This Tanto is well balanced, feels good in my hand, and displays well. I am happy with this knife. I collect knives and this one is a beauty.

Honestly? It turned out a lot better than I expected. It had a decent weight. it's well balanced, and it comes sharpened and oiled. Not only that, but it just looks gorgeous. I got it as a gift for my old man, and boy did he love it. It's a great piece to have and to give as a gift, truly.

This company is great! This is my 4th sword from them, I even was fortunate enough to buy the Tibetan Warrior/Hunting sword that was limited. Had a full size katana, Wazikashi and now this Tanto. All exquisitely made and all are very durable! No need to show elsewhere, the selection is numerous and the prices are for everyone.

Quality is great. I purchased to be a prop for my surrealistic art. So much better than to just use as a prop!

So this is review on this tanto shipping took about ten days the tanto was packed good wicked blade nothing to gripe about nicely made a word to the wise if you get a shirasay style or any sword for that matter and it's extremely tight to get out of the scabbard for goodness sake please don't ask for a shipping label to send it back take the sword out and file out the opening in tiny incremental steps until it's good take the initiative to work on your sword or tanto to adjust things before freaking out and demanding a refund these things sometimes have to be done even on very expensive swords remember humidity plays a role in how snug things are as well better to have it tight and adjust then to receive it loose then it's harder to make it snug I see many silly complaints on reviews here that the item wasn't perfect in every way remember these are hand made by not just blade smiths but woodworkers and others so a lot goes into making a decent sword weather you realize it or not learn to work on your sword for simple or minor issues bond with it it's supposed to have a soul remember samurai and ancient warriors in Asia had to work on repair and maintain their swords and edged weapons they didn't just order a new one and if your sword has some tiny issue who cares it gives it character live with it if you can't work it out nothing in life is flawless so far I've ordered three items and there all pretty damn cool so please quit nitpicking if it's really bad ok send it back otherwise quit whining so far I love true katana and there designs and so far my customer service experience has been good it can be challenging as answered to e mail take a day or so and you may not get the answer your always looking for but be patient there's always going to be a few disgruntled people that sadly had a bad experience here but most reviews seem to be good so I have nothing but good things to say at this point Buddha bless

This piece is beautiful. The only reason I took off a star was for minor quality control issue. A few scuffs. Other than that it really nice.

The sheath is very loose and slips off if I put it upside down so it’s a little dangerous to use can easily fall out of the sheath

You get what you pay for!
Exactly as described.
Handle is on the cheap side but I probably only payed for the blade anyway!

I love my new Tanto blade! It came super quick, and razer sharp. I couldn't be more pleased with the expert craftsmanship that went into this blade. I truly love how the Damascus inlay came out. Simply superb! I look forward to adding more to my collection.
