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!!!!!!

At first I had an issue where I ordered 5 swords but received 1. I contacted customer service and they were very responsive and helpful. They shipped the other 4 and I am very happy with the product. I bought these swords for me and my groomsmen and I just know they're going to love it. I will definitely be a return customer! Love these swords and the quality is amazing. Thanks again TrueKatana!!

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!

I love my new Damascus katana so much I am purchasing a wakizashi and stand for the pair!
Thank you so much for a superior product truekatana!

Handmade Katana Sword Damascus Steel With Black Scabbard

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.

Shipping was fast, and tracking was very accurate. The Wakizashi is a wonderful looking piece. I will most certainly be ordering another sword from True Katana in there near future!

Impressive quality!

I realize this is not a $10,000–$20,000 sword from from the exclusive Japanese masters with long wait lists, but I have to say this is quite well crafted. I talked to a buddy about it who knows a bit about blacksmithing, and he says this is legit.

It also has a beautiful aesthetic pleasing to the eye.

Im very happy with my purchase.

The sword isn’t falling apart or wobbling when I swing it. Also, for it being a weapon for show, it’s actually pretty sharp.
