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.

Authentic Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon

Amazing quality. The katana arrived fast and in mint condition.

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!!!!!!

Did not send me the right sword, or more likely sent me a sword which quality you can tell is not the same piece in picture. The sword is way sub par especially after I spent over a thousand dollars for this sword the blade clay tempering is a joke. I got ripped off make sure ur not next

I wish I had a picture to show how beautiful this katana is. I spent more on this one and the quality difference was immediately apparent when I pulled it from the Saya. The hamon is beautifully crafted and the blade is mirror polished with minimal scratches.The curve of the blade is extreme and awesome. It feels incredible and nimble in my hands. It is so far my centerpiece of my collection and although I know it would cut beautifully ,I don't want to damage this artwork. Ok with that being said the Saya was a disappointment, all the components of the Saya are great however the seam of one side was obviously apparent and had very rough edges along the seam almost sharp and the fit of the Saya is very tight which I'm not sure is a bad thing as long as it holds together. I'm very happy with quality and craftsmanship of this katana so I'm ok with the flaws in the saya but a little surprised it wasn't caught before shipping.

Nicely made and looks good. Blade is nowhere near "razor edge sharp" as claimed.

High-performance Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel

Very happy with this purchase, always wanted a legit katana. I’ve had friends purchase ones in the past that I felt were low quality, especially for what they paid. This one feels like you’re holding a quality sword that could actually be used for its intended purpose.

Authentic Japanese Katana Sword Damascus Steel Real Hamon

Everything is good..except..when I was simply shaking it to see if anything was loose or rattled, the tsuka (handle) squeaks. I suppose it's minimal but a little annoying. Sharp though. I may consider buying more.

So worth the purchase! I bought 2 Katana swords for my husband for his birthday and he loved it! Thank you for having such a variety to choose from. I will definitely be shopping for more to add to his collection.

For the price, it is very nice katana. The hamon looks nice and all of the lines are nice and straight. The yokote is not perfectly defined but it is nonetheless decent. Overall very nice and sturdy as well.

my first buy from TK was kind of ok for the $. The second was a midrange tanto and about 10 times better than the 1st. The third buy was a katana. Which is beautifully impressive and another 10 times better. Thank You

Authentic Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel

Great sword, beautiful.. although some details were not as perfect as expected, overall it's nice. Not as sharp as expected, small detail unfinished in the handle. Normally I wouldn't say anything but considering I spent 650 approximately, it was very disappointing.

I still love the sword, don't get me wrong. But now I am looking into sharpening services..
