I don't have a pic of the sword only a video but I do have a pic of what it did to my thumb when I dropped it and reached for it mid-fall. The sword obviously came super sharp, it looked just like the pictures on the website. It cuts good (not just fingers) so please be careful. Cuts bamboo like butter. It's definitely carbon steel not stainless. The weight is good not too heavy but with enough heft it'll swing good. The hamon is beautiful, the saya feels good and durable. I've bought swords for about $200 that weren't anywhere near the quality of this sword. I got it on discount from the website, TrueKatana also upped the discount after it sat in my cart for a week so I couldn't pass it up at that point. Took about 7 days to get it even from outside the US. The only issue I've found is it needs two mekugi (pegs through the handle and tang) instead of just one. I got it for use not for show so two would've been preferable for rigidity. Also if you plan on sharpening you need the right stones to polish or it will scratch the blade. I felt good with my purchase, definitely got my money's worth. I will get another as soon as possible. Also I'm giving 5 stars because this is the first one I've bought at this price range and with only one thing I considered a con (the single mekugi) I have no reason to not give a full 5 star rating. I hope this helps anyone considering making a purchase.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Waves And Fish Style Tsuba

I bought 3 pieces quite close to Christmas. They arrived ON TIME, in overwhelming beautiful quality and perfection. I turned around as soon as I saw they were above and beyond legitimate, and ordered 2 more. My only hurdle, which may be my fault, was I found the same piece on 2 different pages one $118 sale, the other 159. I don't know if I needed to order each separately to get the discount at least on each item. But it's just not enough to complain? I still ordered 2 matching pieces to a Tonto that everyone is going crazy for as our last name is Wolf, AND it's a Tonto?

The Tanto came as described and looked even more incredible in person. Truly a work of art that must be experienced, a picture with my android phone won't do it justice. Functionally sharp as advertised, will be a great show piece to go along with my collection. True Katana never misses, their products have been stellar.
