Tamahagane Steel Katana with Koi Tsuba in Brown Samegawa - Gold-Gilded Koshirae |
Another beautiful sword! The reason I chose the Phoenix theme is because in the middle of May 2040CE The Mandate of Heaven will occur. This is caused by the Phoenix weapon. The 6th seal of Revelation, the sun will darken, worldwide volcanism & earthquakes, oceans slip basins, red rain red mud will fall from the sky. And the return of the Vapor Canopy. Cheers!

The black one on top, in the image. Excellent quality, a true masterpiece. I have compared it to my other one, white one. As far as quality, balance and cutting potential. The one I bought from true katana (black one) is unparalleled in every way.

Tamahagane Steel Katana with Hamon Blade, Purple Tsuka & Black Lacquer Saya - Koshirae Style |
Mnou zakúpená katana je spracovaná na veľmi dobrej úrovni. Čepeľ vykazuje malé nedostatky v súmernosti, chrbát čepele nemá obidve polovice rovnako široké po celej dlžke a taktiež plochy medzi rebrami a hranami chrbta na oboch bokoch čepele nie sú rovnako široké po celých dlžkach. Nakoľko saya s habaki sú zlícované dosť na tesno, katana sa vyťahuje zo saye dosť ťažko (ale toto sa dá doladiť, nie je to večší problém. Zakončenie rukoväti (Kashira) nebolo nasadené kolmo na os čepele, čo som musel upraviť. Mekugi neboli namontované do rukoväte (Tsuky) moc esteticky.

T10 Carbon Steel Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon - Red Rayskin Saya and Copper Dragon Tsuba |
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.

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon in Black Pearl Rayskin Saya - Gold Floral Tsuba |
Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!
