Whether you are a sword collector or a martial art practitioner, if you are looking for a antique short sword that is a lot more than just a practice piece, you have come to the right place. Our swords are made of quality materials,each sword we make is handmade with care, fully functional, and capable of test cutting. Also if you are considering buying them as collections or gifts for your friends, That would be the best choice.
i have never used truekatana before and i am quite satisfied with 2 tanto purchases i made from there. first off, was packed well and was protected coming to this country. the shirasaya tanto is beautiful and is very sharp-cant wait to test cut with it. As a true gamble i ordered a higher end more ornamental tanto and was in disbelief as i saw that the blade is probably the sharpest of any blade i have. I cant wait to test. i have no doubt both tantos are properly pegged, functional, and will perform! if i have one complaint its that everything should come with its respective swordbag. I will order from truekatana again for sure.

Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
The Tanto sword is high quality and well-finished. The package arrived quickly.
Unfortunately, the wood sheath arrived with a seven-inch crack along the bottom.
The crack is where the Tanto, when in the sheath, has the sharp length of the blade.
I intend to keep the Tanto because of the high quality. It is first-rate.
If another wood sheath with a black gloss finish is available, please let me know.
Thank you,
D. G.

Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
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.
