IPad Air4 for size comparison. It's beautiful, just like the photos. It has a hefty weight and feels sturdy. I absolutely love it and just need to get a display stand for it.
I didn't want to remove the plastic on the blade, as I don't have any oil yet to care for it, so I'm leaving it wrapped but I saw no chips, bends, dents, or scratches on the blade. It arrived carefully wrapped between two blocks of Styrofoam in perfect condition and tracking was easy to follow. Overall I'm super satisfied and so glad I bought it.

Very nice, well made sword. I never considered its weight, but I can feel it is solid.

Hilarious "do not use for" rules on the enclosed card. (Ex. - Do not groom your dog with this sword")

This one is a great find. Beautiful build quality and also very affordable. It caught my eye emediately on the website, ordered it and when it arrived in almost less than a week I was not disappointed. The weight of it is awesome, really feels strong in hand. The sleek simple bamboo design is top notch also . This sword took me back to my days in Okinawa, Japan thanks True Katana! When it arrived there was a couple cracks in my scabbard causing it to release a little loosely but I addressed it with TrueKatana Customer service and they sent me a new scabbard free of charge! Best customer service ever! Sent an email with a couple pictures and Fiona responded promptly within 24 hrs. Very pleased with the TrueKatana brand so far! Looking forward to my next purchase. THANKS!!

I don’t know much about swords but it was pretty dirty on the inside so I don’t think I can keep it in the holder without it getting brown dirty stuff on it. but the quality of it was incredible thanks so much for the speedy delivery

Thanks folks another quality item you got here and swear it’s even slimmer than the one before it. Good to know when it comes to swords and swording I can count on you folks out there.

What a beautiful piece, the Saya fits snug with no rattle and the blade was oiled and in perfect shape! I’ve been having a Zatoichi marathon since it came! I foolishly read into some bad reviews because the shipping confirmation never updated. I contacted them via email and Fiona was quick to reply and follow up with UPS. Not sure what she told UPS, maybe she threatened them with a katana because they got the lead out and it arrived to NC in less than a week! Thank you so much, I love it!

Sword is amazing. Considering it come from across the world it got here relatively fast. You can tell the sword was made carefully and is incredibly sharp. This sword and sword website is amazing and I’ll definitely be shopping here again.

Sword is solid and well put together, but the last 2 inches has a slight curve to the right when looking from the spine. Compared to the other 2 katanas I own it's noticeably heftier, but that doesn't mean much to me. The saya and handle are nice in my opinion and the entire thing feels pretty sturdy. The only issue is with the blade itself, but thats also the heart of a sword so even if its slight it's still noticeable

Good sword. Curious to what the liquid on the blade was.

I was surprised at the level of craftmanship for my first time buying a blade online. It's a solid build; quality blade that's VERY sharp and balanced.

It would get a full 5. However the blade rattled slightly when locked. Can’t be a Ninja with that much noise lol.

It is however beautifully made and sharp. I will need to order another at some point.
