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!

Mnou zakΓΊpenΓ‘ katana je spracovanΓ‘ na veΔΎmi dobrej ΓΊrovni. ČepeΔΎ vykazuje malΓ© nedostatky v sΓΊmernosti, chrbΓ‘t čepele nemΓ‘ obidve polovice rovnako Ε‘irokΓ© po celej dlΕΎke a taktieΕΎ plochy medzi rebrami a hranami chrbta na oboch bokoch čepele nie sΓΊ rovnako Ε‘irokΓ© po celΓ½ch dlΕΎkach. NakoΔΎko saya s habaki sΓΊ zlΓ­covanΓ© dosΕ₯ na tesno, katana sa vyΕ₯ahuje zo saye dosΕ₯ Ε₯aΕΎko (ale toto sa dΓ‘ doladiΕ₯, nie je to večőí problΓ©m. Zakončenie rukovΓ€ti (Kashira) nebolo nasadenΓ© kolmo na os čepele, čo som musel upraviΕ₯. Mekugi neboli namontovanΓ© do rukovΓ€te (Tsuky) moc esteticky.

Tamahagane Steel Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon in Red Rayskin Saya and Black Cord Tsuka Tamahagane Steel Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon in Red Rayskin Saya and Black Cord Tsuka
Fatih Gul Georgia, United States

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.

Martin Siebert Maryland, United States

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!!!!!!
