The Daisho(Katana& Wakizashi) was a set of long and short swords, worn by Samurai warriors during the Edo period. The long sword is called Katana and the short one is called Wakizashi.
The katana I recently purchased from TrueKatana was a thing of beauty! The timeframe on it was very reasonable and the engraving was a bit larger than I anticipated. The leather covered saya was exquisite and the steel was excellent.
The only concern was that I asked for the blade to be "ultral" sharpened.
We sell many katanas to martial artist competitors in Tameshigiri. Our katanas are usually rated by our BESS scale as 170 grams or less (As sharp as a double edged razor blade). We had asked for the "ultra" sharpness on this sword, but when tested, it came in at around 200 grams (closer to a single edged razor knife).

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword Full Tang With Black Scabbard |
This wakizashi is a very beautiful and masterfully crafted piece.I also love the scabbard with shoulder sling that it comes with.The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the leather wrapping around the handle is brown and not black and I was wanting a full black wakizashi to complete my set of a black katana and black tanto.But overall it is still a very wonderful piece.
