Honest feedback: My first ever katana. Beautiful craftsmanship. Does look exactly like the image online, and an intense feeling of caution and anxiety occurs when I unsheathe the blade. Hilarious, but highly important instruction/liability manual......DO NOT LICK THE BLADE. DO NOT CHOP VEGETABLES WITH THE BLADE. I can only image some of the cases.

Black Katana - Handmade Japanese Katana T10 Carbon Steel Clay Tempered With Butterfly Tsuba & Black Scabbard |
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

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 |
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.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword Damascus Steel Full Tang |
First time ever owing something that screams discipline. I was researching ok weaponry and the history of Japan, At first I was learning about shikomizue which then lead me to Zatoichi and now you guys(TrueKatana). I am very thankful to own this and thankful for you guys for having marketing available for customers such as myself. Eleven out of ten in my opinion if that’s even possible?

Excellent katana with great cutting sound through the air and good feel. Grip is perfectly sized for medium/large hands and blade/haman are flawless. Katana draws smoothly from the saya and presents with balance. Overall an excellent sword for the money. Happy with the purchase and quick delivery.

Good weight and a razor sharp blade! My only complaints are about the guard and the metal just below the guard dig into the hand/finger when in use.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword High Manganese Steel With Black Scabbard |
so I bought a $ 1000 t 10 katana super sharp, owned a cheap 200 three sword set that was a gift several years before and the new katana I just received makes the others feel like a cheap children's toy , that actually broke some pieces off. this is the real deal, the fit and finish are very clean and well done, the sword has a real nice balance , im no expert but a way better feel than the others I owned.. I am going to buy another from them later but I cannot decide if the 3000 sword is really worth it . oh lastly the sword was shipped to Fl in about 4 days , kinda was shocked how quick.
true katana , awesome sword , super happy , now send me a discount coupon so I can make my next purchase easier
