Handmade Ww2 Japanese Army Officer's Shin Gunto Katana Sword Type 97 With Brown Scabbard |
Sword is beautifully made. The shipping process was quick and I have 0 issues regarding the sword I received, however, the sword is not as sharp as I was expecting it to be, I'd just recommend getting some whetstone if that's important to you.

I must say, I am very impressed with my purchase. A very good looking and well built sword for the price. Shipping is fast and I will have no hesitation buying from TRUEKATANA again.
Thanks Trukatana Jimka

Nice blade. Sharp. Wooden scabbard is nicely done with good fit. Blue brown blade is quite striking. Have not done any testing yet. At this point a very nice piece.

Love the sword , ordered easily , shipped quickly and arrived on time. Great product.
Ordered a WW2 Katana Japanese officers sword to make a display with the new repro sword and a demilitarized original Japanese officers sword that had been broke in half in order to be handed out as war booty. They look amazingly similar. Great product.

Sword was pretty sharp, seems like it was hardened pretty well. Hit it with a sharpener to see if it left little chips in the edge but didnt. A well made 1060 in my oppinion.

I don't usually leave feed back on my purchase but this is an exceptional piece.this sword immediately stood out from any Japanese blade I've owned before.its balance weight are impressive and the craftsmanship and materials are top shelf .despite the disclaimer in the box I had to give this blade a whirl...and holy smokes this blade is so sharp it cut through a grapefruit and left it sitting there in two perfect pieces ! And continued to do the same with five more! Scary sharp .the price is fair worth every penny! And it shipped
fast'got it within a week! 👍

Handmade Real Japanese Katana Sword Manganese Steel With Brown Strap |
Initial product is nice.
However glue used for the hook and ornaments was horrible, had to superglue them after not long.
Habaki is slightly loose, although it isn’t a problem thankfully.
Would recommend for a first buy, as I did, but not for anyone who collects them.

Nearly perfect. Great balance and overall quality/craftsmanship. -1 star due to the black finish on the edges of the tsuba and handle cap being worn upon arrival.

I left a review with my other order TK202110200313349305. Stating that both swords were beautiful. The wood alone on both swords are beautiful. The blades are lovely. These are birthday gifts for my son and daughter. They are very please with them. My son is a martial artist and he loves his. I wish you guys had the beautiful wood cases or the silk case for them.
Job well done.

Japanese Shirasaya Katana Swords Pattern Steel Without Tsuba With Blue Blade |
I recently decided to start collecting WWII Japanese swords so I purchased a Type 98 Shin Gunto reproduction from TrueKatana to see what these swords looked like back in the day. The quality of the sword was very good, very reasonably priced and only took a couple of weeks to arrive. I will definitely buy from them again!
On a side note, a few months ago I purchased a beat-up Type 98 Shin Gunto at a garage sale for a few hundred bucks. I found Ishido Teruhide's name on the tang as the swordsmith. The blade has been authenticated and now I know what it should look like when it's fully restored!

For the price It was Amazing. All the materials that were listed in the description of the item were actually real, including gold, silver, real hard wood saya, including real samegawa rapped handle. The level of detail and craftsmanship of my blade was very high quality. I was also surprised with the fact that the blade had a real hamon (temper line). The one down side is that the saya entrance was a bit wide which causes the blade to not be fully sealed. In conclusion I am very satisfied with my purchase and will buy from here again.

Curved Katana, Handmade Japanese Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon |
My katana arrived exactly as described and pictured. The first thing I noticed was the weight. It is heavier than expected but very well balanced. Some people say the hamon is etched and not real. I have worked in the steel industry for 25 years and can say it is truly heat treated. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have already ordered another sword less than a week after I received the first one. Shipping time is slow but it actually ships from Longquan and not a warehouse in the states.

Took a while to get here but was less than a month, the quality of the katana is amazing and very sharp and already got some lube on it or something and the packaging was protective enough got here with no holes. Very satisfied, already on my wall
