Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
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.

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.

Overall I'm happy with this tanto. The blade is extremely robust and the finish is generally excellent. My one complaint is with the saya. As received, the habaki would barely fit into the saya, and required a good hour of careful sanding and filing before it would fit correctly and smoothly.

Top quality blade, with nice finishing touches round Fuchi and Habaki.
That said, pattern on Fuchi looks more Chinese/Korean than from Japanese origin.
All in all very happy with this purchase and will add to my collection from True Katana.

Initial impression: longer than I expected, and an impressive weight to it. The saya seems to be made of quality material, appears to be natural wood with noticeable imperfections. It feels smooth and lacquered, some slight oil stains near where the handle meets the saya from the blade oil. The habaki is a beautiful design and seems well constructed. The blade itself is highly impressive, though not flawless. The hamon is well defined and really speaks to the overall beauty of the piece. The blade is well polished, not a mirror sheen, but that’s not a bad thing in my opinion. I noticed some extremely small nicks on the blade edge, but we’re talking almost beyond visible to the naked eye, I can only catch them in the gleam of direct light. Most of my cheaper Japanese blades have difficulty staying in the scabbard, either scratching away at the inside from a poor fit, or so loose they will fall out if tilted. This piece has what appears to be some synthetic material lining the inside of the saya as well as covering the wood at the top of the opening, creating a snug, but not overly tight seal.
Overall this is an EXTREMELY impressive piece for the price point. I’ve had full katanas twice this cost that were a quarter of the quality. I’d recommend this particular item to anyone who has a fondness for the art of Japanese forged weaponry.

I would have given it 5 stars but there is a hair line crack in the handle. Other than the crack the knife is well built. The crack only gives it a little character. This was my second purchase from TrueKatana. I will most likely be purchasing more.
