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!!!!!!

The wakizashi that I received was absolutely gorgeous! The blade, handle, scabbard, and every detail was second to none…oh and it’s sharp as heck too, so don’t go fooling around or you’ll be admiring one of these beautiful weapons from the emergency room. This is my second time ordering from TrueKatana and both times it has been a home run! Love it!

The swords arrived 7-8 days after they were shipped. I had received an email confirming the order when I placed it, however I did not receive an email when it shipped, so I didn't know to look for them. They may have been outside a day before I noticed the boxes. With that said the boxes arrived in good shape with no obvious shipping damage. I'm not the biggest fan of the all styrofoam containers, due to it being a little messy when opening the packaging, but I can't deny it did an excellent job in protecting the swords as they arrived in perfect condition. I haven't had a chance to cut any water bottles yet, but all of the swords seem reasonably sharp. Everything seems well built with no obvious defects that I can tell at this time.

Handmade Japanese (風雲海龍) Naginata Sword Pattern Steel With Green Saya |
I purchased 5 katana from 5 separate stores. This one had higher quality and tracking than all the others. The balance was good. The sword stays appropriately in the saya/sheath when turned upside down, and there is no rattle in the saya when you gently shake it.
The sword was able to handle tameshigiri on tatami goza without incident for a 1/4 sized, 1/2 sized, and full-sized roll. Other katana started to chip at the blade, had pulls in the tatami on their cuts, or simply couldn't properly slice.
The only downside is all others came with a bag, and this one did not, but as it is the one that will continue to be used, it is not much of a downside.

Good weight and a razor sharp blade! My only complaints are about the guard and the metal just below the guard dig into the hand/finger when in use.

Decent quality for its price, beautiful to look at. Feels solid, all the pieces are firmly attached and no rattle. The blade is a bit on the heavy side, straight and sharp. The scabbard is beautiful and holds the sword tight.

Handmade Japanese Sword Damascus Steel With Golden Blade And Snake Style Scabbard |
Arrived timely. Blade straight and sharp
Nice stacked pattern on blade reminds me of Damascus pattern. The blade seemed brownish in color. Like rust but dosnt wipe off. The Saya looked like it was painted by a 3 year old. It's the blue and white flowers very sloppy. I repainted best I could but this has never been a problem with my other purchases. Maybe I just got a bad one.
