It was exactly how I predicted. Katana came in within a week and blade was sharp. For the price it wasn't bad at all. Definitely could chop a zombies head off easily with it lol

Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon Without Tsuba

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.

The sword arrived as scheduled, which was pretty darn fast. The boxing, padding, and Styrofoam kept everything snug for shipping. No dings or marring on any pieces.

As for the sword itself, it's a well balanced, sharp, and overall aesthetically pleasing to look at. Absolutely gorgeous!

I was somewhat baffled by the accompanying literature of do's and don't's. It cautioned to not take the katana apart. That was one of the things that I was looking forward to with my first real katana. I've owned a ninjato and currently have a cheaper non full tang katana that's glued together, which I can't take apart. Be that as it may, I am still extremely pleased with the katana.

Minus a star for poor sheath retention which I fixed with a thin layer of wood glue.

Good blade and handle quality otherwise.

Awesome sword, it came very sharp too! I'm not that familiar with Manganese steel but from what I've read it's quite strong. I'll be making another purchase for sure!. Great Experience with True Katana.
