Whether you are a sword collector or a martial art practitioner, if you are looking for a Olive Damascus Steel Katana that is a lot more than just a practice piece, you have come to the right place. Our swords are made of quality materials,each sword we make is handmade with care, fully functional, and capable of test cutting. Also if you are considering buying them as collections or gifts for your friends, That would be the best choice.












Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!

The katana arrived in a reasonable time frame, coming from China (Hubei Province)via air. The quality was about par for the cost. No authentication nor bill of sale were included as to the composition, methodology, etc. This a fault and should be conveyed with the katana. The advertised sharpness and the Damascus structure was not as distinct. The workmanship on the hilt and the handle was poor. The handle release peg was not visible on the opposite side. No way to remove the handle. The edge will not slice paper as it should as a fine katana. This katana was the work of a mid-level Smith through and through. I'd like to hear from the maker, sharpener, etc.

I purchased 5 katana from 5 separate stores. This one had higher quality and tracking than all the others. The balance was good. The sword stays appropriately in the saya/sheath when turned upside down, and there is no rattle in the saya when you gently shake it.
The sword was able to handle tameshigiri on tatami goza without incident for a 1/4 sized, 1/2 sized, and full-sized roll. Other katana started to chip at the blade, had pulls in the tatami on their cuts, or simply couldn't properly slice.
The only downside is all others came with a bag, and this one did not, but as it is the one that will continue to be used, it is not much of a downside.

very nice quality over all, but the small details where there should be gold but it's only partially painted and looks sloppy. the weight is the best part, in which it feels great to hold and wield.

Love the blade! Not sure that the sheath is real snake skin but looks cool regardless. Not a crazy sharp edge which is fine, obviously you can get it sharpened yourself. Overall more than happy with the purchase!

Truly is what you pay for. It’s not expensive so don’t expect anything real or anything that’ll actually last someone practicing on real bamboo but just as a display piece it’s rather nice.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my husband he had been talking about one and so I did my research and found true katana. When this cortana came in I checked it out before I wrapped it and it is way better than I could have ever expected it to be. It's absolutely beautiful and well made. I'll post another review when he opens it Christmas Day. :)
