The katana is great, and it looks exactly like the picture. The only defect is it is slightly bent to the left. Also, it's amazing for decoration or serious collectors.

Handmade Japanese Chokuto Ninjato Sword High Manganese Steel Full Tang

This is the first katana I have ever bought and understand this is in no way a battle ready or perfectly hand crafted weapon, but I do think there should be more attention to the finer details like the handle being offset from the blade. I also know this is not a traditional handle design for a katana and while it is off centered and slightly loose it feels amazing. Other than that, this thing is extremely sharp and near perfectly balanced. The tip did roll slightly, not 100% sure on what as I try not to hit hard things with this sword, but it's also $200. All in all 7/10 mainly because of the off-centered handle. I will definitely buy from here again. Fast shipping, and arrived in perfect condition.

Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword With Black Blade

I have purchased these three swords as samples to see if they would be a viable product line to offer in our businesses and martial art centers.

Here are my findings:

All three swords are aesthetically pleasing and the fittings are ornate. I feel these would be a pleasant addition to a display or collection or for a beginning practitioner.

For someone looking for a sword to practice or cut with regularly, the product we received may not be the best products. Here are some reasons for this.

Two of the three blades were noticeable sharpened on a belt grinder and the edge geometry was a bit inconsistent. 2 of the 3 passed a paper cut test.

The two "folded" blades (the katana and naginata) are not folded steel, even under magnification. We have also observed a few imperfections such as chipping, staining and rolled tips but those appear to only be cosmetic. While the folding is not critical with modern steel, the appearance it provides would help sell the product and was a reason we chose them. The unfolded T10 material would be functionally sufficient. Also note that the cost was higher for these "folded" versions.

The hamon on each blade was very light, though looks nice, does not carry the deep gray appearance despite the fine polish. I am concerned how sufficiently heat treated the edge may truly be.

The fitment of the habaki is fairly loose, only fitting the mune and ha properly.

The Tachi shares the same profile and curvature as the katana and is the same length despite being listed as a longer blade.

All three swords show some fitment issues where things are misaligned or roughly ground to fit. The koiguchi and shito-dome are prime examples of this on the naginata as they exhibit grinding or chisel marks of fitting the blade. The naginata Saya sticks at every insertion and retraction of the blade.

The tsuka profiles of each were a bit blocky and the tsuka-ito is fairly wide, adding bulk to the grip. Very much a factory made handle.

Each sword came with manual the states the blades should not be used for cutting. We were able to confirm with customer service that it was ok to perform tameshigiri with the blades. They expressed the manual was a meant to be more of a cautionary document than a disclaimer.

We completed testing the sample products. In short, they do cut but only ok. We performed 6 cuts with each blade on rolled tatami omote, mounted on a regulation stand, in a vertical fashion. The tatami was rolled tight with no center material such as bamboo to ensure consistency in each cut.

We observed some ha (edge) deformation and marks left on the hiraji and shinogi (angled blade body surface) but nothing substantial. This is likely due to the edge and blade geometry being fairly flat (vs more convex) and a maybe the blades not being heat treated as hard as they could be.

We also did notice the fuchi was loose on the katana after completing the cuts. This can be corrected easily but should not happen on a new blade.

For a newer practitioner, these swords would be fine.

I am a bit discouraged with the customer service when we provided similar feedback and asked about the katana and naginate not being folded. They were somewhat accusatory and reluctantly did provide an RMA stating that we could return the blades only if they were still in the original packaging and unused. In short, we opted not to return the swords due to the packaging being discarded and to continue our testing. Our intent is to keep these products as examples for our clients and students and to showcase features that may or may not be satisfactory.

For practitioners seeking a functional sword, there may be some value at investigating True Katana's performance line. My experience may not be inclusive to all their products but the customer service was disconcerting. I will recommend the hanwei product line before True Katana in the future.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword High Manganese Steel With Black Blade And Scabbard

The handle looks really nice, the leather used on the sheath has a nice pattern to it, but one complaint. It did NOT come sharpened like promised in the description, just like my last purchase. I may stop ordering non-decorative items from this site if this keeps up.

Handmade Japanese Ninjato Sword With Black Blade

The Tanto sword is high quality and well-finished. The package arrived quickly.
Unfortunately, the wood sheath arrived with a seven-inch crack along the bottom.
The crack is where the Tanto, when in the sheath, has the sharp length of the blade.
I intend to keep the Tanto because of the high quality. It is first-rate.
If another wood sheath with a black gloss finish is available, please let me know.
Thank you,
D. G.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Tanto Sword High Manganese Steel

Very good quality, very sturdy no shaking. Extremely sharp, one small issue is the wood particles from inside the scabbard when you draw the sword but it's not too noticeable. Overall amazing product for such a great price!

Almost too real the blade was made by a true swords smith

The balance is incredible.
Watch out, it's razor sharp.
The only thing I would suggest is adding a proper care booklet with each blade.
