Our swords are made of quality materials,each sword we make is handmade with care, fully functional, and capable of test cutting. Also if you are considering buying them as collections or gifts for your friends, That would be the best choice.
i have never used truekatana before and i am quite satisfied with 2 tanto purchases i made from there. first off, was packed well and was protected coming to this country. the shirasaya tanto is beautiful and is very sharp-cant wait to test cut with it. As a true gamble i ordered a higher end more ornamental tanto and was in disbelief as i saw that the blade is probably the sharpest of any blade i have. I cant wait to test. i have no doubt both tantos are properly pegged, functional, and will perform! if i have one complaint its that everything should come with its respective swordbag. I will order from truekatana again for sure.

Handmade Japanese Aikuchi Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
Tanto was beautiful. Finishing was a little rough, I’ve seen the same fittings on other tanto’s, and the blade was loose in the Saya, I glued a small shim on the bottom of the opening, problem solved, but the quality is on the high side of good. Remember this is a 79.00 blade, Quality control in not at its finest. That being said, I enjoy the purchase and would buy another one if the need arises. Aesthetically it is a beautiful blade and makes for a good display piece. Its size might surprise you, the blade is over 12 inches long. I am overall Satisfied with the purchase.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard |
This is a great tanto! Very well- made, with a sharp blade. The tsuba and grip are beautiful. I presume the sheath is made of wood. A great short sword for $80.00.r
Not a bad deal at all! Thank you.r

Really excellent quality. Especially considering the price. I wouldn’t describe it as especially sharp, but that takes hours and would Jack the price up.
I like it.

A decent decorative piece for the price. However, after a few months of minor handling the ito started to unravel.

The tanto is beautiful. The blade looks awesome. Customer service are great too. My scabbard came damaged so they sent out another scabbard to me without hassle. Would recommend for sure!

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang |
We do love this tanto and shipping was great however there are just little things on the handle to not get a 5 star. (Still totally worth the money and a great piece) but you can see some tool marks on the handle and it should’ve been wrapped where 3 of the pins were not showing.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Tanto Sword High Manganese Steel |
My order came out beautifully. Very pleased with it. My only question is whether the swords are really battle-ready or not because the website says they are but the pamplet that comes with the swords says not to use them to cut, slice and that they are for display over. I bought these as backup weapons to my guns so if they aren't battle ready that would defeat the point. But they are beautiful indeed!!!

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With White Scabbard |
I have purchased over a dozen items so far. I absolutely love my swords and stands. Some scabbards were not tight as they warp a tiny bit with heat changes in shipping. This is only a couple out of the many. Customer service was extremely helpful and explained this to me as well as a way to fix on my end. 5 stars. Great business, great products and great customer service. Thanks.
