The tanto was beautiful exotic wood grain looks and feels great was a little loose in the scabard but used the old samurai wax trick and now it's good I'm not sure what the wood is maybe tiger wood but is super attractive and with a couple of coats of oil it is amazing blade is razor sharp I've already ordered some other pieces from true katana as there selection and unique designs are very cool and the pricing is good something for everyone at different price points I'm glad I stumbled onto true katana as for shipping this item took about a week

Love the tanto, it is well made and looks great. It is not super razor sharp, but it definitely is sharp, which is great. Well packed and shipped and in good time, and with the discount was a good price. Thank you!

Handmande Japanese Hamidashi Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard

This is a great tanto! Very well- made, with a sharp blade. The tsuba and grip are beautiful. I presume the sheath is made of wood. A great short sword for $80.00.r
Not a bad deal at all! Thank you.r

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard

The blade collard was not flat with the blade and the blade was not truly centered. I was very disappointed by the quality.

Love the design, looks great. Edge was very dull though and I had to sharpen it myself.

As long as I'm not a real samurai, I can only to appreciate the craft. Probably in a skillful hand will become a deadly weapon. Thank you!

The Tanto came as described and looked even more incredible in person. Truly a work of art that must be experienced, a picture with my android phone won't do it justice. Functionally sharp as advertised, will be a great show piece to go along with my collection. True Katana never misses, their products have been stellar.

You get what you pay for. It’s a $70 tanto, certainly sharp and cool, but straight out of the packaging with messed up leather under the wrapping and the leather looks like white styrofoam.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel

Very exquisite piece. Really well made. Has the weight that lets you know it is not a cheap piece of work. This is a real showpiece.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang

Seems the metal is very good quality. The furniture is a good quality. The size of the Tonto is a little large, more like an O Tanto. Still that’s a minor point. It’s a great blade.

The hamon line looks real the wood is beautiful and well shaped, and the balance is exactly what I hoped for. A fine blade.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel

Love the Tanto. Nicely packaged. The blade is sharp and I like the way the blade was preserved in shipping with a light oil. Very happy with my purchase and will buy again.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Tanto Sword High Manganese Steel

Could just be me but in the pictures it looked like the blade was a little wider than it was. Either way it came in and looks amazing.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang

It was bigger then I expected, but I was happy regardless. Well made tanto.

Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon

I’m no sword expert but my boyfriend is really into Japanese samurai so I brought this for his Christmas present. As far as I can tell the quality is amazing, beautifully patterned Damascus, sharp even edges and a good solid feel. The blade was oiled for protection and all the details are beautiful. It was thoroughly packaged for protection and delivery to Australia was quick. I personally had no issues with delivery or customs. Thank you so much for the beautiful knife!

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang

Very pleased with the Tanto; the Fitment and workmanship is excellent!
There are only minor 2 niggles...
There several small black spots on the silver tsuba (possibly paint , as
I could not feel an edge to the dots, which I would have felt if the plating was failing).
the second niggle...it is kinda sharp, but should have been sharper...
Minor, in my opinion...The Hamon is beautiful, The blade is well polished, and
the overall feel and balance is very good...
Will purchase from TrueKatana again.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With White Scabbard

I'm an early Iaido student 2nd year and I wanted a small tanto to complement the shinken.
I didn't want something too big like a Wakizashi but for a tanto it's on the longer side.
Depending on your hand size this is a single handed tsuka.
For really small hands you might be able to get both hands around the tsuka.
I like the red and black tint on the tsuka that's what attracted me.
It looks great and I feel like the craftsmenship on this blade is worth more than it's value.
Note: blade seemed to come in dry no choji oil appeared to be on the blade. So check to make sure.
