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!!!!!!

Seems to be very well made and edge is very sharp hope the steel is actually as they advertised

At first I was a tad bit skeptical due to previous reviews talking about parcel damaging but when arrived it was in amazing condition and looks genuinely amazing. It's not to heavy nor to light and it is genuinely sharp. Would really recommend compared to other websites. WILL BE BUYING AGAIN

It’s a nice looking sword. Nice weight, too. I kind of wish the data wasn’t coated with high gloss. But, it’s a nice sword for the price, all the same.

The swords came in better than what I was expecting in quality and appearance. I even had a buddy who knows katanas well, and he rated these as a very good quality sword.

Thank you

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Golden Blade And Brown Scabbard

It’s my first sword and I’m really satisfied with its quality. The materials look premium, the handle feels good and the balance is nice although I haven’t cut anything with it apart from some paper. It’s not as sharp as I would have wished it to be and it has a little chip on the apex, which may have occurred from transportation or from sheathing/unsheathing, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a little patience and sharpening. Regarding transportation and sheath; the package was simple, foam wrapped in tape, the sheath and handle were wrapped in plastic, BUT, the blade was coated probably with an anti corrosion oil and wrapped in a plastic foil; the sheath feels a bit on the big side as the blade kinda wobbles inside from left to right and sheathing/unsheathing leaves chips of wood on the apex.r
I love the pattern on the blade.r
All in all, I’m really satisfied with it as a first purchase, and I’m really curious and excited about buying a tamahagane blade in the future.

Sin duda es muy bonita y tiene buen peso, buen filo y tamaño, solo vino un poco sucio en el mango pero lo demás muy bien, tardó en llegar aproximadamente un mes.

My husband and I ordered a katana for our nephew as a college graduation gift. It was something he wanted, and he was extremely pleased with the one we delivered. He Is a former Karate Student of ours and is aware of the history of katanas. His quote when he received it was, “ this is awesome.”

Build quality is lacking in some areas. r
r
Packaging is terrible. It comes in a taped up Styrofoam container instead of a wooden or cardboard box. Its from China, but that's expected.r
r
The katana itself is decent and sharp.r
The outer finish on the saya is nice and looks exactly like the pictures.r
r
However, it was extremely hard to remove the katana from the saya, due to the habaki area getting stuck. I ended up having to lightly sand down the koiguchi area once I eventually got the katana out of the saya.r
r
Moreover, the blade rattles in the saya, which I'm not sure how I'm going to fix yet.
