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

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

Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

Great sword for the price. Could have been a bit sharper. But, I bought it mostly for display. It arrived much faster than I thought. I’ll definitely buy from True Katana again.

I admittedly bought this sword and its shorter companion with the intention of cannibalizing their koshirae to be put on another blade, so I wasn't particularly concerned with the utility of the sword. However, I'll admit that when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it. The construction seems pretty tight, the blade while flat ground and through tempered has a pretty good geometry and feels solid. For the money I gotta say this is a really good buy.

The delivery took longer than advertised on the website around 15- 20 business days. The sword is great, good quality and craftsmanship would recommend. I will definitely be getting more in the future.

Sword was pretty sharp, seems like it was hardened pretty well. Hit it with a sharpener to see if it left little chips in the edge but didnt. A well made 1060 in my oppinion.

I don't usually leave feed back on my purchase but this is an exceptional piece.this sword immediately stood out from any Japanese blade I've owned before.its balance weight are impressive and the craftsmanship and materials are top shelf .despite the disclaimer in the box I had to give this blade a whirl...and holy smokes this blade is so sharp it cut through a grapefruit and left it sitting there in two perfect pieces ! And continued to do the same with five more! Scary sharp .the price is fair worth every penny! And it shipped
fast'got it within a week! 👍

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.

Beautiful blade, all the components seem to be quality, if you’re an actual sword buff this weapon will not satisfy you. It’s not balanced or weighted properly, the configuration of it all is pretty loose, if you’re swinging this thing consistently it’ll start to feel a little loose. But... beautiful product overall, if you just dig good looking well made feeling swords for display purposes you won’t be disappointed, and the feel and look of the blade feels absolutely legit, and maybe that’s just to my untrained eye, but I dig it.
Also, I live in San Diego, from the site This company said they were based in Irvine, and they’re actually Chinese. At that point I thought I was screwed, but this is really a better made Chinese sword. 4 stars.

I absolutely adore this one. No frills, just a simple design and no bohi so that the nagasa itself has the weight necessary for a solid stroke. Looking forward to test cutting!
