I buy swords from True Katana because they are pretty okay. I practice tameshigiri with them. They hold up fine.r
What DOESN'T hold up fine is this company itself. They once sent me a dinged and pockmarked shinobi. When I sent pictures and pointed out the damage, they were insolent and rude and dismissive. They didn't even try to reconcile with me.r
I recommend performance Katanas from this company; but you better pray they show up okay because this company's customer service is complete and utter garbage.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Blade

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with TrueKatana absolutely deserves one.r
r
I initially received an incorrect item with my order. Mistakes happen, that part didn’t concern me. What did matter was how the situation was handled, and TrueKatana exceeded every expectation I had.r
r
From the very first reply, their support team was polite, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. They clearly communicated my options, worked with my timeline (this was a birthday gift), and went out of their way to minimize inconvenience. Instead of rigid policies or delays, I was met with flexibility, transparency, and solutions.r
r
The highlight? They arranged shipment of the correct sword promptly and ultimately told me I could keep the incorrect item at no cost—no return required. That level of trust and goodwill is rare, especially in online retail.r
r
What impressed me most wasn’t just the resolution, but how easy they made the entire process feel. No friction. No defensiveness. No hoops to jump through. Just professional, thoughtful customer care from start to finish.r
r
TrueKatana has earned a customer for life. Their customer service genuinely rivals what I’ve experienced with top-tier Fortune 500 companies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.r
r
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll be taken care of.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Golden Blade And Tsuba

Wow, what a fabulous sword for the price!r
I practice Iaido and generally utilize an aluminum-bladed specific katana. I purchased this katana to have a reasonably priced live blade for kata and demonstrations. I also teach Kobudo and utilize a live blade for demonstrations and for more advanced students (Bo, Tonfa, and Sai). I couldn't be happier considering the cost of this katana. The blade, fitings and assembly quality are several notches above the price. Sharpness is adequate for showing the live blade during demonstrations (water bottles, etc.), and I don't really want a true razor edge for demos. As the instructor, I generally act as "Tori" and have an advanced student act as "Uke" with the katana, so any risk from the live blade is on me. I'm not especially worried about damaging the blade edge, even with the Sai, and my Ukes have said they like the katana. I recommend this katana to anyone looking to minimize cost and needing a good basic katana.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Black Scabbard

The detail on the blade scabbard are incredible. I am disappointed with the lack of the chain from the anime at the end of the handle and lack of detail on the hilt.

Handmade Japanese Tachi Odachi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon

I like knives and I have different types of knives and hand sharpener, electric sharpener (Tormek). I keep my knives always sharp. First time owner of a Katana. First impression is good. The steel is original Damascus. The hamon looks good. r
r
Things I did not like much:r
1. It was written that it is razor sharp. No, definitely not razor sharp, even noth sharp. It doesn't cut folded paper towel even though I press much. With fingers, I don't feel the sharpened. After sharpening my knives, I test them and I am what is sharp and what is notr
2. Polish is not good enough. In some points of blade, with my nail, I can easily feel the Damascus layers.r
3. Habaki: design is good, but workmanship looks poor, machine made.r
4. Saya: The thing that really bothered me was the saya. When you shake the blade, it makes wabbling noise. The blade does not perfectly fit to Saya. r
r
I think for this price, it was good enough.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Blue Blade And Scabbard

Shipping was very fast and customer service was very communicative. I dont know anything about ghost of tsushima, so these were bought purely for "cool factor" and if you get them for 30% off, then they are an incredible deal. This is my third order with truekatana and it went great!r
r
This set, however, is of curious origins. The blades look amazing as always, a deep blue with an almost purple hue in the light. The Sakura tattoo on the blade and habaki add a classy touch and the engraved blossom on the scabbard is very eye catching and well done.r
However, the katana only has one mekugi peg so I worry about how full the tang is. It feels solid enough, but the habaki was also loose when I got it, and had to be fixed with a spacer... it seems like a corner or 2 was cut with the katana but again, great looking blade. The grip wrapping feels old, like maybe it's been in a warehouse for a while. Not bad, just not the greatest sword I've gotten from truekatana...r
r
The tanto, however, is amazing!r
Overall I'd be cautious with this particular set but I'm sure it has more to do with suppliers than truekatana
