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!!!!!!

High-performance Wwii Japanese Type 98 Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Saber Sword With Brown Scabbard |
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.

It was even better than I expected. It arrived faster than the original estimated time. Also, the pictures on the website did not do justice to this true work of art. A real beauty if I say so myself. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Everything was clean and nice. Until I checked out the sheathe and noticed some metal pieces comming off. The glue keeping the metal seemed to have came undone.

Love the sword , ordered easily , shipped quickly and arrived on time. Great product.
Ordered a WW2 Katana Japanese officers sword to make a display with the new repro sword and a demilitarized original Japanese officers sword that had been broke in half in order to be handed out as war booty. They look amazingly similar. Great product.

The sword is beautiful, and actually higher quality than I expected. Obviously refrain from hitting it against stuff, but it’s still sharp either way. I’m still amazed at the accuracy!

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! 👍

I really wish I could give 5 stars, but I received a damaged product. I was given a 25% discount, but I would have much rather had the sword in good condition than have some money off. However, the two katanas I got are still very cool and I love them, hence why I would want to give a 5. However, for the price I wish the condition was better.

Took a while to get here but was less than a month, the quality of the katana is amazing and very sharp and already got some lube on it or something and the packaging was protective enough got here with no holes. Very satisfied, already on my wall
