TrueKatana has adequate blades, primarily T10... best bang for your buck; especially for tameshigiri.r
r
When you order your sword, pray that nothing ever goes wrong because the company has ZERO customer service.r
r
I've ordered 11 swords from this company. Despite that, they NEVER tried to make amends for selling me a shinobi sword once that was fucked up beyond repair. When I lodged my reasonable complaint, they acted like I was full of shit.r
r
Any decent company would spare NO expense in satisfiying a good customer. Not TrueKatana... they know their customer base needs what they have so they punish you for it.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Crimson Scabbard |
I buy swords from True Katana because they are pretty okay. I practice tameshigiri with them. They hold up fine.r
What DOESN'T hold up fine is this company itself. They once sent me a dinged and pockmarked shinobi. When I sent pictures and pointed out the damage, they were insolent and rude and dismissive. They didn't even try to reconcile with me.r
I recommend performance Katanas from this company; but you better pray they show up okay because this company's customer service is complete and utter garbage.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with TrueKatana absolutely deserves one.r
r
I initially received an incorrect item with my order. Mistakes happen, that part didn’t concern me. What did matter was how the situation was handled, and TrueKatana exceeded every expectation I had.r
r
From the very first reply, their support team was polite, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. They clearly communicated my options, worked with my timeline (this was a birthday gift), and went out of their way to minimize inconvenience. Instead of rigid policies or delays, I was met with flexibility, transparency, and solutions.r
r
The highlight? They arranged shipment of the correct sword promptly and ultimately told me I could keep the incorrect item at no cost—no return required. That level of trust and goodwill is rare, especially in online retail.r
r
What impressed me most wasn’t just the resolution, but how easy they made the entire process feel. No friction. No defensiveness. No hoops to jump through. Just professional, thoughtful customer care from start to finish.r
r
TrueKatana has earned a customer for life. Their customer service genuinely rivals what I’ve experienced with top-tier Fortune 500 companies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.r
r
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll be taken care of.

I like knives and I have different types of knives and hand sharpener, electric sharpener (Tormek). I keep my knives always sharp. First time owner of a Katana. First impression is good. The steel is original Damascus. The hamon looks good. r
r
Things I did not like much:r
1. It was written that it is razor sharp. No, definitely not razor sharp, even noth sharp. It doesn't cut folded paper towel even though I press much. With fingers, I don't feel the sharpened. After sharpening my knives, I test them and I am what is sharp and what is notr
2. Polish is not good enough. In some points of blade, with my nail, I can easily feel the Damascus layers.r
3. Habaki: design is good, but workmanship looks poor, machine made.r
4. Saya: The thing that really bothered me was the saya. When you shake the blade, it makes wabbling noise. The blade does not perfectly fit to Saya. r
r
I think for this price, it was good enough.

This is one of the finest budget class Katanas which you will never go wrong buying. This katana has a sleek design, scabbard feels a bit cheap but for this price it’s still in good quality. For those wondering of the sharpness then I can proudly say this katana will cut through paper easily. Overall I’m very happy with the design and sharpness with my katana, thank you TrueKatana!

So this was a good blade for the price. The sayia is loose but gorilla glue couldn't fix. As for the rest of the sword.
Hamon line isn't a real hammon for T10, but it is there'ish. It will cut but it being dojo ready without a bit of maintenance, it'll get there.

Curved Katana, Handmade Japanese Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon |
Everything on the Katana was tight, Ito wrap, the fittings, tsuba, habaki. The blade does NOT wable. Heavy duty T10, for ridged durability, and a shape and elegant taper for the blade profile. Made for an excellent bamboo cutting sword.
The blade after cutting bamboo after bamboo, (28 stalks) had preformed above my expectations. It showed no signs of chipping, wearing, or anything that would affect the blade and make it go to failure.
It was right out of the box sharp and choji oiled.
I highly recommend this katana, a very skilled craftsman had assembled and forged this T10 blade. The Hamon is absolutely perfect and authentic.
Despite the reviews on Reddit, I was a little weary of dropping that cash on a sword like this, but it is for sure worth it.
I only hope that every katana on this site is assembled, forged with such skill and pride. For a Chinese sword made with Japanese traditional smithing, I can safely say that the katana you might be looking at is worth it.
They have excellent customer service.

Overall the sword is a nice looking wall hanger. But I am concerned about the quality of materials used. They used plastic on certain parts of handle that should be metal and I think the hamon is faked with an acid etch and not a real one caused by differential hardening like they said. I also have no idea if this is real T10 the fake acid etch is concerning if it is because T10 needs a quality differential hardening to be the heat steel that it can be. For the price it’s at I would expect at least no plastic on the sword but at least it looks nice on a wall.

I wish I had a picture to show how beautiful this katana is. I spent more on this one and the quality difference was immediately apparent when I pulled it from the Saya. The hamon is beautifully crafted and the blade is mirror polished with minimal scratches.The curve of the blade is extreme and awesome. It feels incredible and nimble in my hands. It is so far my centerpiece of my collection and although I know it would cut beautifully ,I don't want to damage this artwork. Ok with that being said the Saya was a disappointment, all the components of the Saya are great however the seam of one side was obviously apparent and had very rough edges along the seam almost sharp and the fit of the Saya is very tight which I'm not sure is a bad thing as long as it holds together. I'm very happy with quality and craftsmanship of this katana so I'm ok with the flaws in the saya but a little surprised it wasn't caught before shipping.
