Very well made. r
The Tsuba is a bit thinner than I expected, but that is not necessarily a problem. r
I also note that the balance point is about 5 inches forward of the Tsuba - a bit farther forward than most. It works for me as the sword handles quite well.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Silk Thread 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.

Wwii Japanese Type 98 Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Sword

Beautiful sword! Love everything about it, except for the chips of paint that were showing the silver metal beneath it upon me opening it up. I hate that I can’t post more than one photo since the tip of the blade and a few cm below it are also chipped spots. But everything else I love!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blood Red Blade And Scabbard

This was the perfect birthday gift for one of my favorite people. He opened it and came right in for the hug (doesn't happen very often from a 15 yer old male). The sword is beautiful. Shipping was as promised with updates. Very much appreciate that.

Outstanding gift for a 21st birthday, it is simply fantastic. Great color and a truly unique gift. I couldn't have added for anything better.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Red Blade And Scabbard

This was my first purchase with True Katana so I went with one of the lesser expensive swords. Upon receiving the sword, I found it to be of good quality for the money. That being said I did have an issue with removing the sword from the scabbard. The first time took some finesse and patience as the sword did not want to budge. I eventually was able to free it and worked the sword back and forth until it smoothed out. All in all a fine sword for the money. I will be moving up in price range with my soon to be next purchase with this company.

At first I was a tad bit skeptical due to previous reviews talking about parcel damaging but when arrived it was in amazing condition and looks genuinely amazing. It's not to heavy nor to light and it is genuinely sharp. Would really recommend compared to other websites. WILL BE BUYING AGAIN

Handmade Japanese Obsidian Katana With Black Blade And Strap

When I first found this page, I was so blown away by the amount of stock that was available I had such a hard time choosing what one to buy first. But im so glad I picked and finally got it in the mail. I was even more blown away when I opened it and held it. I'm still so very excited to have one and will most definitely be getting more. Also I'd love a Samurai Jack style Katana. I'd definitely get one of those. Thank you and a very, very job well done.

It’s a nice looking sword. Nice weight, too. I kind of wish the data wasn’t coated with high gloss. But, it’s a nice sword for the price, all the same.

At first I had an issue where I ordered 5 swords but received 1. I contacted customer service and they were very responsive and helpful. They shipped the other 4 and I am very happy with the product. I bought these swords for me and my groomsmen and I just know they're going to love it. I will definitely be a return customer! Love these swords and the quality is amazing. Thanks again TrueKatana!!
