Very cool looking, decently built. A couple minor parts of imperfections as seen in the picture. (On handle in the red sections between the braided black wrapping is a spot missing of something)

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

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!!!!!!

High-performance Wwii Japanese Type 98 Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Saber Sword With Brown Scabbard

Amazing quality. Everything is snug, tight, and very well-built. The tang is tightly wound with durable ray skin underneath. The end cap of the tang is snuggly fitted. The blade itself, while this will be used for display, is extremely sturdy. r
r
My main purchasing factor was that True Katana was the only company selling WWII katanas (olive color, rosewood, etc.), and all of the designs and effects are 100% accurate, with the reasonable exception that there is no stamp on the blade (but that's expected, because those forges did not make the blade). With that being said, for what this is, it's well worth the price. r
r
Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

Did not send me the right sword, or more likely sent me a sword which quality you can tell is not the same piece in picture. The sword is way sub par especially after I spent over a thousand dollars for this sword the blade clay tempering is a joke. I got ripped off make sure ur not next

I am happy with the blade overall, however, parts along the Scabard came broken off of the scabbard when I received it. Additionally, there was a large amount of hot glue at the end that was clearly visible.

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

Katana is beautiful and sturdy! Only issue is the metal bracket used to hold the strap will slip along the length of the scabbard. I wish that would stay in place. But otherwise a beautiful katana.

Wwii Japanese Army Type 98 Nco Shin-gunto Sword

Very beautiful weapon, came in perfect condition and is made very well.I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Wwii Japanese Army Type 98 Nco Shin-gunto Sword

It’s a well made and beautiful looking sword, it’s one of the best I had ever obtained.

The reason for only four stars however is that some of the fittings became loose and one came unglued shortly after receiving it.

Despite this I would (and probably will) order again from TrueKatana.

Nice workmanship, but fits a little loose. I used to have an ‘actual’ officers sword, and it had a metal latch to keep the sword from falling out is the scabbard. Would be nice to see if you could replicate this. I would definitely buy such a sword: practical and pragmatic.

Wwii Japanese Army Officer's Shin Gunto Samurai Sword Type 98 With Camouflage Scabbard

Initial product is nice.

However glue used for the hook and ornaments was horrible, had to superglue them after not long.

Habaki is slightly loose, although it isn’t a problem thankfully.

Would recommend for a first buy, as I did, but not for anyone who collects them.

Sekiro's Katana Sword, Undead Cut Katana, Shadows Die Twice Purple Sword

Absolutely beautiful!!! I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas and I’m so excited to give it to him.
Everything about it is good condition and the blade is very sharp.
Only concern is the packaging, it came in taped up styrofoam but must have been handled properly. It also arrived 4 days ahead of estimate :)
Overall I am mesmerized by the sword and wish I was keeping it for myself haha

Was a little put off by my item shipping from China. It makes me doubt the manufacturing and quality.

It still looks like a great sword
