Our swords are made of quality materials,each sword we make is handmade with care, fully functional, and capable of test cutting. Also if you are considering buying them as collections or gifts for your friends, That would be the best choice.
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!!!!!!

Handmade Short Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon |
Overall a good product. The blade is excellent, and overall workmanship is quite good.r
Two problems observed:r
The Habaki is loose - it slides back and forth on the blade with a noticeable gap between the notch on the blade and the Seppa.r
The Tsuka-Ito is a bit looser than it should be.r
While I can repair both of these I should not have to do so. The assembly should not have passed inspection.

The ito is semi-tight. The blade itself is very well done. Habaki is nicely done. The kahira and fuchi are very plain nothing special but the do their job. Sageo is definitely one of the nicer ones i have seen for a blade of this price.The Tsuba design is nice and the saya has a really cool design. Overall a nice collectors piece. I am happy with the selection.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Silk Thread Scabbard |
This katana is now my favorite and I've bought over 7 from TK ,the reason is it's special blade geometry which makes it very light and fast with one hand. The hamon and polish are impeccable and the blade a beaty.The other reason is the fit and finish is flawless and especially love the fit of the Saya and its elegant silk string. Wanted to take this opportunity to recommend the t10 folded naginata's I've included, these have the same blade geometry as katana reviewed (which also makes them light)they are 1 3/8" tall the whole way through the blade(which is the same length)opposed to a 11/4" tapering to 1". These naginata's are bigger and badder ,you won't be sorry you picked one up.

Love the Look of it online, but unfortunately the Dragon Carving is not as prominent as shown on the website. I’m not sure if this is on purpose or not but it seems that the lacquer/ varnish was over done and it covered the dragon carving to the point that it makes it almost invisible/ not easily seen.
Other than that I think that the Sword is amazing the Handle and the Tsuba are fitted great, I do wish that the Tsuba had a dragon design instead to match the Saya (sheath) but it’s sharp and feels really good in your hands.
If you want to buy it I’d double check regarding the Saya (Sheath) dragon carving and if it’s supposed to be dark like that or not.

This is the second unit I purchased from TK ....the
sword is very hard to remove from the saya. The brass
fitting, once it goes into the saya, it becomes almost
imposible to remove without using a screwdriver and excert some torque to it.
Can you send me a UPS label to return and have it replaced..???
Thanks

For the price this is a great wakazashi. Sharp, the dragonfly them is awesome, the saya (scabbard) made of rosewood is very nice. The same (ray skin) on the tsuka is real amd provides a great grip. This is a great little house sword.

Pretty sweet sword, was worked it wouldn't be as legit as it said but man it's pretty well built and sharp. Haven't really used it in any training or battle but I'd be willing to bet when the zombies invade it'll probably cut a few of em down

The sheath of the katana does not fit the blade, because the blade wobbles inside.
