This was my 3rd purchase from True Katana. But it's my first straight blade Katana (don't know the technical name) Very sleek and stylish. I love the simplicity of this sword. It came packaged well, the blade was wrapped in plastic and had a layer of oil to preserve it. Very sharp!!, feels good to hold and swing. Don't know if they make a set of this or not. I find no irregularities, no wobbling what so ever and it slides in smoothly. The Katana is exactly what they post on the site, just looks better up close and personal. Very pleased with this purchase.

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

I perfectly am a happy camper!
My order to germany took about 2 weeks processing time. Customs handled online with ease. I'm surprised!
Because it was my first purchase here i picked a product from the low low price segment.
A STUNNING THING OF BEAUTY is what i got! I am so happy and rest assured this is not gonna be my last purchase ☺️

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!

It came in alot faster than I would have thought! It was perfectly packaged and the sword itself is absolutely beautiful. It has a good weight to it, which makes it feel that much better. Definitely one of my favorite purchases. Highly recommended.

I love this katana, It is very pleasing to the eye.
This black Bamboo Shirasaya is surprisingly made very well, it is handmade with a full tang that is made of 1045 carbon steel.
The tsuka or handle is fitted very tightly and does not move at all and is thin but fits nicely in the hand/s.
The habaki fits very well and isn't loose, the blade is pretty sharp and will cut but I'll put a much better edge on it with a wet stone and leather strop it will definitely take a fine razor edge.
The kissaki (tip) is done well and cleanly and easily penetrates cardboard, straw, and pigskin (yes I tried it).
The hamon or wave pattern made by clay differently treating it, is prounced enough to see and looks good, it fits good in the saya (scabbard) but could be a bit tighter I'll fix that with a thin shim. No biggie.
Overall this is a really nice Shirasaya and will be a great addition to my Japanese sword collection, it's well worth the money at this price.

The sword is great but the scabbard was cracked and later turned into a hole
