I wish I had a picture to show how beautiful this katana is. I spent more on this one and the quality difference was immediately apparent when I pulled it from the Saya. The hamon is beautifully crafted and the blade is mirror polished with minimal scratches.The curve of the blade is extreme and awesome. It feels incredible and nimble in my hands. It is so far my centerpiece of my collection and although I know it would cut beautifully ,I don't want to damage this artwork. Ok with that being said the Saya was a disappointment, all the components of the Saya are great however the seam of one side was obviously apparent and had very rough edges along the seam almost sharp and the fit of the Saya is very tight which I'm not sure is a bad thing as long as it holds together. I'm very happy with quality and craftsmanship of this katana so I'm ok with the flaws in the saya but a little surprised it wasn't caught before shipping.

High-performance Japanese Katana T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel

I've ordered 6 swords from Truekatana. This picture represents a Chinese Straight Sword and Chinese Broadsword I purchsed. I'm not a metalurgist, forgemaster or swordmaster. I learned a little Shao lin and wu shu broadsword in my youth, but that's about it. All that said these swords are truly functional, beautifully balanced and of exquisite workmanship. Besides being weapons they are beautiful works of art. I like to collect swords of all types and these two are among the most expensive I've bought, both being in the $1000 range. They are also, by far, the nicest.
I've also bought two katanas and two wakizashi. Though I did not venture into the same price range, they are truly viable weapons and beautiful art pieces.
Truekatana has truly exceptional pieces, fully functional as well as beautiful to behold. They are worth every penny and if you wait for a sale you will likely find something you like at a better than fair price.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Crimson Red Blade

Purchased for my son for Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Katana and the workmanship put into it. This is his first 'collector' piece and we will definitely return for his other pieces. In October I plan to ask for one of the one thousand folded, clay tempered either Tachi or Katana for my birthday.

This Katana is a very beautiful piece and the well wrapped saya matches the tsuka ((handle) with the same Samegawa (PU Ray-skin) and PU leather wrappings creating a beautiful finished piece. The tsuba is iron and crafted well with a simplistic design. The handle and the saya do feel well made, though it's difficult to tell entirely. The saya fits the blade very well, 'locking' the blade in place so it cannot accidentally slide out as long as it is pressed in properly. The black blade is aesthetically pleasing and my son loved the added 'mystery' it gave the overall all black, obsidian obscurity, as he now calls it.

Very happy with our purchase.
