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.

This sword is awesome and definitely sharp enough. I’ve seen some people saying it’s not sharp enough, I sliced paper no problem. Blade was oiled, wrap on the handle is tight. I will definitely order from you guys again for gifts for other people.

Love the sword , ordered easily , shipped quickly and arrived on time. Great product.
Ordered a WW2 Katana Japanese officers sword to make a display with the new repro sword and a demilitarized original Japanese officers sword that had been broke in half in order to be handed out as war booty. They look amazingly similar. Great product.

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.

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.

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.

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!

When ordering this katana for my son I wasn’t sure what to expect. Some I’ve seen through other sites they looked cheap and the blade looked dull. But this blew away any doubts I had. The sword was beautiful and so very sharp. I highly recommend this from true katana.
