Frequently Asked Questions

What shades of brown are available?
Our brown katana collection includes chocolate, chestnut, tan, walnut, and copper-brown combinations. Brown appears in the saya scabbard lacquer, leather or cord handle wrapping, sageo cord, and bronze-toned metal fittings.
Are brown katanas historically accurate?
Yes. Brown is among the most historically authentic color schemes for Japanese swords. Traditional leather wrappings, aged lacquer, and bronze fittings naturally exhibit brown tones. Our brown katanas closely reflect the earthy palette of historical Japanese blades.
What display environments suit brown katanas?
Brown katanas are extremely versatile, complementing dark wood furniture, natural stone, leather seating, and both traditional and modern interiors. The neutral warm tone avoids clashing with existing decor, making brown one of the safest display color choices.
Do brown katanas use leather or cord handle wrapping?
Both options are available. Some brown katanas feature leather-wrapped handles for a rustic aesthetic, while others use traditional cotton or silk ito cord in brown tones. Product descriptions specify the handle material for each model.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with TrueKatana absolutely deserves one.r
r
I initially received an incorrect item with my order. Mistakes happen, that part didn’t concern me. What did matter was how the situation was handled, and TrueKatana exceeded every expectation I had.r
r
From the very first reply, their support team was polite, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. They clearly communicated my options, worked with my timeline (this was a birthday gift), and went out of their way to minimize inconvenience. Instead of rigid policies or delays, I was met with flexibility, transparency, and solutions.r
r
The highlight? They arranged shipment of the correct sword promptly and ultimately told me I could keep the incorrect item at no cost—no return required. That level of trust and goodwill is rare, especially in online retail.r
r
What impressed me most wasn’t just the resolution, but how easy they made the entire process feel. No friction. No defensiveness. No hoops to jump through. Just professional, thoughtful customer care from start to finish.r
r
TrueKatana has earned a customer for life. Their customer service genuinely rivals what I’ve experienced with top-tier Fortune 500 companies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.r

If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll be taken care of.

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!!!!!!
