Amazing quality. Everything is snug, tight, and very well-built. The tang is tightly wound with durable ray skin underneath. The end cap of the tang is snuggly fitted. The blade itself, while this will be used for display, is extremely sturdy. r
r
My main purchasing factor was that True Katana was the only company selling WWII katanas (olive color, rosewood, etc.), and all of the designs and effects are 100% accurate, with the reasonable exception that there is no stamp on the blade (but that's expected, because those forges did not make the blade). With that being said, for what this is, it's well worth the price. r
r
Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

Great sword for the price. Could have been a bit sharper. But, I bought it mostly for display. It arrived much faster than I thought. I’ll definitely buy from True Katana again.

The sword is solid but nimble with a more slender blade,but the red black leather handle with the solid suba and the cool red blade combined with the flawless wood saya makes this a piece to just show off. It's a beaty.

Excellent product, got delivered on schedule and with no major issues. A small problem was one of the rings on the sheath came loose, but thats easy enough to fix with glue.
Would absolutely recommend true katana for any other items. It looks great.

I don't usually leave feed back on my purchase but this is an exceptional piece.this sword immediately stood out from any Japanese blade I've owned before.its balance weight are impressive and the craftsmanship and materials are top shelf .despite the disclaimer in the box I had to give this blade a whirl...and holy smokes this blade is so sharp it cut through a grapefruit and left it sitting there in two perfect pieces ! And continued to do the same with five more! Scary sharp .the price is fair worth every penny! And it shipped
fast'got it within a week! 👍

It’s a well made and beautiful looking sword, it’s one of the best I had ever obtained.
The reason for only four stars however is that some of the fittings became loose and one came unglued shortly after receiving it.
Despite this I would (and probably will) order again from TrueKatana.

Nice workmanship, but fits a little loose. I used to have an ‘actual’ officers sword, and it had a metal latch to keep the sword from falling out is the scabbard. Would be nice to see if you could replicate this. I would definitely buy such a sword: practical and pragmatic.

Was a little put off by my item shipping from China. It makes me doubt the manufacturing and quality.
It still looks like a great sword

Nice looking katana but soft steel, and bendable by hand. Definitely a wall-hanger. If this really is made of T10 then there's something wrong with the hardening/tempering process. I wouldn't recommend using it for cutting or sparring, etc.
