Brown Pattern Steel Katana

Jul 30, 2025 17:50

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!!!!!!

The sword is exactly what I expected. Very nice and well put together. It has a very display worthy look. r

The shipping notifications we lackluster in the beginning but after a week is worked out. r

I never intended to use this sword for anything but display and it fits that purpose perfectly!

It is an amazing sword! The balance seems perfect to me. The saya is one of the nicest sayas I’ve ever seen, and I happy to have it, I’m still trying to decide what to do with the Sageo, the black that comes with it is a good look definitely but I’ll change the sageo on several of my swords from from time to time. The blade is just gotgeous and its sharpeness is very impressive, as it cut right through a piece of paper when I took it out. If you want a sword for cutting then this is definitely a worthwhile purchase. It’s a beautiful piece as well so you can’t really go wrong with this sword. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Do I even need to say the last part? I will anyway. Highly recommended!

Although not bad it has its problems being a loose scabbard and the polish on the blade wasn’t good either for a $700 katana .

Excellent product, as expected. I do wish, since they say handmade, that there was a smith's mark on the tang.
