Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword Pattern Steel With Red Saya |
Bonjour , mon couteau TANTO est de très belle finition , et je suis très satisfait de sa qualité , ainsi que pour mes quatre précédant katana que je vous ai acheté .
Le problème que je rencontre , est le manque de sérieux des transporteurs , j'ai deux katanas que je vous ai acheté qui on disparu de façon définitive à l'arrivée en Belgique après des semaines de tracasseries administratives ,et je n'ai pas eu de remplacement ?
Et aussi la grande différance des délais de livraisons d'une commande à l'autre .
En tous , je vous ai acheté sept katana pour ma collection .
Je félicite les forgerons pour la qualité de leurs travail .

Love the quality and the craftsmanship on it. My problem is that the blade doesn't stick well on to the saya and the tsuba is bent by a little bit. Other than that, looks great.

Wasn't very sharp. The instruction listed not to sharpen, along with many other don'ts. The web site made me believe that this Tanto was of high quality steel and "Battle Ready". I really didn't want a display.

Yes I recently purchased this small katana which im Impress with from “true katana”
Now I will say the small katana is 10 high carbon steel, with a sharp edge , clay tempered and so on. It’s handmade and very well build, I love the design the iron tusba has flower design which nice and the scabbard has a beautiful design on it as well.
I love this small sword and I love looking at it and I love the way it feels when I hold it in my hand too.
Also I would like to thank karatemart for the beautiful selection of weapons they produce and the fast shipping delivery which took a few days but that the process ….. thanks again I recommend this weapon and will buy again👍

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Golden Blade |
Very nice looking but somewhat cheap. The gold line is painted on and it’s white instead of the gold(ish) in the picture. The grip isn’t real ray skin either, just a plastic/rubber replica. Other than that it’s a nice piece. I haven’t tested it so I don’t know how it holds up durability wise.

Here's my honest opinion about this tanto.
If i'm not mistaking myself the describtion said "razor sharp". I don't know if that was typo because this was not close to that sharpness at all.
I'm 51 years old and I know a thing or two about sharpening blades., so this i can fix myself easily.
The fitting between the habaki and saya is under all criticism. It was so poorly made that if you tilted it the knife fell out. NOT very safe. Again this i fixed.
This was definately not made by an experienced craftman.
If i were you i had contacted whoever you choosen in China to sharpen up, or searched for another blackdmith
After all, this has to do with your reputation. I don't blame True katana. I blame the amateur that made my tanto.
