Aikuchi is a form of mounting for Japanese blades in which the handle and the scabbard meet without a guard in between. Originally used on the koshigatana (a precursor to the wakizashi) to facilitate close wearing with armor, it became a fashionable upper-class mounting style for tanto (daggers) in the Edo period.
Both Katana’s arrived packaged securely and sharp when removed from packaging. Will order again for other sure.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang |
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.

Awesome sword, it came very sharp too! I'm not that familiar with Manganese steel but from what I've read it's quite strong. I'll be making another purchase for sure!. Great Experience with True Katana.

Excellent katana with great cutting sound through the air and good feel. Grip is perfectly sized for medium/large hands and blade/haman are flawless. Katana draws smoothly from the saya and presents with balance. Overall an excellent sword for the money. Happy with the purchase and quick delivery.

The sword is really nice. No complaints about the sword itself. But, during shipping, something happened that caused the guard to punch through the shipping material and get damaged.
Nothing else was damaged on the sword. It’s unfortunate that it happened because everything else looks great and it arrived quickly.
5/5 for the sword
3/5 shipping
