At first the katana its hard to take out from the scabbard so need to trim a little bit in the inside to loosen a bit. Then the piece of wood that is holding the sageo in the scabbard fell off. But all in all the katana is sharp. Good balance of the blade and when you swing the blade it makes a hacking sound, and what I like is the hamon of the blade with a wave like pattern.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword 1060 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard |
Shipping was very fast and customer service was very communicative. I dont know anything about ghost of tsushima, so these were bought purely for "cool factor" and if you get them for 30% off, then they are an incredible deal. This is my third order with truekatana and it went great!r
r
This set, however, is of curious origins. The blades look amazing as always, a deep blue with an almost purple hue in the light. The Sakura tattoo on the blade and habaki add a classy touch and the engraved blossom on the scabbard is very eye catching and well done.r
However, the katana only has one mekugi peg so I worry about how full the tang is. It feels solid enough, but the habaki was also loose when I got it, and had to be fixed with a spacer... it seems like a corner or 2 was cut with the katana but again, great looking blade. The grip wrapping feels old, like maybe it's been in a warehouse for a while. Not bad, just not the greatest sword I've gotten from truekatana...r

The tanto, however, is amazing!r
Overall I'd be cautious with this particular set but I'm sure it has more to do with suppliers than truekatana

The swords came in better than what I was expecting in quality and appearance. I even had a buddy who knows katanas well, and he rated these as a very good quality sword.

They never gave me a shipping date so it showed up with out me knowing, but was packaged well could be sharper in spots on the blade but looks to be decent quality workmanship. Already bought a second one different style.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword Damascus Steel With Purple Blade |
The blade itself is beautiful And it arrived pretty quick. The fittings feel solid, and the overall aesthetic is exactly what I was looking for. However, the main issue is with the scabbard. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit properly; the sword shakes inside, and if pointed downward, it falls out on its own. With that said if the saya had been properly fitted, this would have been nearly perfect.

The katana is heavier then it looks! Which is a plus for me I didn’t mind, it felt like it had character! But I will say this the material on the handle came loose along with the bottom piece that holds it together and the Sagieo came loose as well, But I redid it my self and it looks more awesome now I love my katana

Handmade Japanese Sword With Rose Gold Blade |
New member of the family! I love this katana and my backyard is now full of decapitated water bottles. I've drank so many water bottles and filled them with tap water to not be wasteful--it's so addicting, getting that perfect clean slice on the water bottles, slicing multiple water bottles at once, slicing the larger jugs of waters, slicing fruits--this t10 steel is so resilient and cuts through the targets like butter. Of course, this is my first katana, my swordsmanship is that of an ultra-novice, but now I'm invigorated to learn--and learn more of the samurai history--after purchasing this instrument. What is great about TrueKatana is their unique designs, all the different scabbards and the subtle details on the hilts, the tsuba, the sheath, etc.--so much selection! I was warned that purchasing a katana would activate an addiction and, well, no regrets! 10/10, this model, the blue blade, it's mesmerizing. Just taking it out of the sheath and staring at it 😆 ...Okay, I think this review may have come off a bit long but trust me, purchase a katana from here and you'll understand!

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword With Blue Blade And Scabbard |
Excellent construction I even appreciate when my sword was sent to me the blade and handle were wrap in plastic. I feel as the owner I have the privilege to be the first to touch handle of the sword . It is a very important feeling to me.

I have purchased several excellent swords from True Katana but this one truly outranks them all. For the price point, this one is an absolutely amazing value. The sword is tight, sharp and
flawlessly elegant. I cannot recommend this Katana highly enough. If you are looking for a sword, do yourself a favor and order this one - you will not be disappointed.

Handmade Japanese Sword 1095 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard |
For about 150 bucks, the quality of the sword is pretty good for it's price. However, it is pretty tip heavy, and the scabbard's interior was pretty dirty, with pieces of dark stuff being of my sword each time I draw it. I'm not sure if this was rushed, but just something to watch out for.

Very happy with this purchase, always wanted a legit katana. I’ve had friends purchase ones in the past that I felt were low quality, especially for what they paid. This one feels like you’re holding a quality sword that could actually be used for its intended purpose.
