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!!!!!!

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.

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

Very happy with this purchase, always wanted a legit katana. I’ve had friends purchase ones in the past that I felt were low quality, especially for what they paid. This one feels like you’re holding a quality sword that could actually be used for its intended purpose.

Loves the katana currently have it displayed above my desk and love how it looks. Came in with a oily substance in the blade but nothing a microfibre rag can’t get off. Would recommend and will be buying from this company in the future.

Fast shipping, good build for the price. The materials used outside of the blade itself are light (inexpensive) so the sword feels light. But I didn’t purchase a $8000-$12000 katana, so I’m happy with this sword for its price. Would buy again from TrueKatana.

This sword is possibly the closest I have come to the "real deal" for an authentic Katana. The blade is impeccably beautiful and the overall characteristics are almost indistinguishable from ancient Tamahagane steel. This is a fantastic value for the price!

The sword lived up to its expectations. It’s a gift for my brother’s 40th birthday, so I can’t really show you a picture of me wielding it because it’s not mine. However, me and my father gave a sneak peek test run of the sword and it is damn good of a sword. Very sturdy and I like the fact that it has some weight to it. Also, it is a very beautiful piece of artwork. Very satisfied. Thank you True Katana!

This white Katana was purchased as a gift for my daughter and I was amazed by the quality and workmanship of this sword.
The Hamon is very pronounced and absolutely awesome looking and the Bohi is perfect from habaki to the tip of the blade...the sword feels light in the hand is a perfect match for a smaller user or a young woman in this case..thank you True Katana.
