The Ninja sword, Nin-to or Ninjato is a straight-bladed sword very similar in respect to the katana. (Samurai Sword) Ninja swords however were usually inferior to the Samurai swords as the Ninja sword was made with inferior steel and knowledge as the Ninja were not a recognized social class in Japan and had little money to hire a skilled smith. Ninja swords were used differently than the Samurai and were made more as a tool than a weapon of art. Ninja swords were made shorter than the katana but had many more uses. The scabbard for instance was made longer than the sword, about 3 to 4 inches longer. At the end of the scabbard there was a hidden compartment that was used to hide small weapons such as spikes, daggers or small amounts of poisons. Another use the sword had was that it could act as a small step by jamming the blade into the ground, the ninja could use the hand-guard as a step to get that extra height needed to scale a wall. Because the blade was not very sharp, the ninja could also use it as a hammer by holding onto the blade (carefully) and hitting with the handle. Also it was common thing with ninja swords to have the tip of the scabbard come off so it could be used as a snorkel.
Yubashiri came in perfect condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better replica to Zoro’s sword. Just completed my collection with Yubashiri can’t wait to get Enma and Ame no Habakiri.
Oct 22, 2020 02:51Not gonna lie I was sceptical at first, but when the blade came in I knew it wouldn't be the last thing I ordered from this site. 10/10. The blade is cheap but well made, and looks exactly like it does in the pics. Idk how to express how pleased I am.

I really love this sword, and was very satisfied with the whole delivery process as well. If I had to mention any minor complaints or details , the gold plating was missing a spot on the tsuba, and the the saya had and ultra tight fit. I was able modify the opening of the saya with a handheld rotary tool, brushed out all the wooden dust, and now it's perfect. Would most definitely buy again from your store. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning, and worth every cent. Looks exactly like the photographs. Nice weight overall, the sheath is solid hardwood, full-tang blade is fairly sharp damascus steel, and the hilt is wrapped with real rayskin. A battle-ready work of art!
One of the most beautiful swords I've received. You can tell by the feel how sturdy it is. The craftsmanship of it is well made, smooth and well formed but you can see small indicators it was made by a human and not a machine, but they add more to the blade.
Oct 21, 2020 18:55Id say overall the quality of the build was pristine. Clean along the edges to the hilt. The only thing is that the Saya was a little to tight for the katana but I'm truly satisfied with my purchase. Looking forward to purchasing more from this manufacturer.

Oct 15, 2020 12:37Originally sent item with different colors than the picture. Was told that the did not have the exact color as shown. I asked for a return. They sent a return shipping label. I sent the item back. While the item was in transfer, the sword in the correct color scabbard and handle inlays showed up on my doorstep. Happy that I got the correct item. Could have let me know that it was coming.
Oct 15, 2020 11:30Item arrived promptly, well-packaged, and exactly as described! As for the tantĹŤ itself, it's sleek, elegant, minimal, and feels great one's hand. I'm satisfied with the quality for what I paid. I wouldn't hesitate to shop with True Katana again in the future. Thanks, TK!

Oct 15, 2020 07:13Husband is obsessed with his katana. Great quality. Beautiful piece!
Oct 15, 2020 06:28it is a nice sword.fit and finish are good.very sharp.the fittings could be better.the hamon is light and hard to make out.have not yet tested the cut.it is light and handles well.
Oct 15, 2020 05:45Sword quality is very good and so was the customer service. It was only about 3 weeks from the time I ordered the sword until I received it. This Tachi is the 19th sword I have purchased over the past 2 years and I will buy more from True Katana as I expand my collection.
Oct 15, 2020 05:29I will be ordering more soon.
Oct 14, 2020 21:45Love the sword its nice but the blade is a little warped which is dissapointing but it still cuts which is nice, very good sword for people who wanna learn and not spend 500 dollars on a epic samurai sword
Oct 14, 2020 18:19My son loves it.
Oct 14, 2020 18:08I would give 5 stars but I specifically emailed them to see what they had in stock bc I didn't want to wait weeks for one from China if possible bc most of theirs are shipped from China.nSo oddly enough the person replied and said the only one they had in the warehouse in California was the exact Tanto blade I wanted, so I ordered it the next day bc of it being in country but lo and behold it came from China.nCoincidence maybe someone bought all those specific tantos or something but the actual piece is really nice: made well, weighty and appearance is very nice. I would buy again.

Good weight, fits in the hand well. Nice edge. Excellent craftsmanship. Thank you!nWill be buying more.
Surprisingly good quality for the price. Can cut pretty cleanly, and came as advertised. Good buy.
