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.

Very pleased with the Tanto; the Fitment and workmanship is excellent!
There are only minor 2 niggles...
There several small black spots on the silver tsuba (possibly paint , as
I could not feel an edge to the dots, which I would have felt if the plating was failing).
the second niggle...it is kinda sharp, but should have been sharper...
Minor, in my opinion...The Hamon is beautiful, The blade is well polished, and
the overall feel and balance is very good...
Will purchase from TrueKatana again.

Hate to give such a low star but, in the description it said sharpened edge and it was far from it... It has a very nice feel in the hand and has a very attractive blade. Both the Sageo and the tsuka are very nicely finished and fit well together. I understand for the price point it will not be perfect but if it says sharpened edge in the description the edge should be sharpened.

Very happy with the purchase. One thing I wasn’t sure about was the oil that the blade is covered in. I assume some type of protectant? Wondering if it could be wiped off at some point? There a little pieces of wood that I would like to clean. Also wondering what mount you may recommend for the tanto? Other than that I will be ordering from this site again!!

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.

Feels like a great handmade product! Doesn’t feel cheap at all. I’m just disappointed it did not come sharp at all. Not much of an edge to it. However good product, doesn’t feel cheap
