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!!!!!!

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!

Incredible craftsmanship, and this sword carries the spirit of a warrior, made in the true Hamon fashion. The gold detailing is impeccable. This katana is a dream to hold and own and display. It is my go-to self-defense weapon against any evil, as it is made of T-10 steel! Amazing! The scabbard is so classy and sophisticated, the entire design is regal.

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.
