Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify that a katana is made from real metal rather than a decorative alloy?
Verifying that a katana uses genuine high-carbon steel rather than decorative alloy involves checking several observable and documented characteristics. The most reliable documentation-based check is the listed blade material: 1045, 1060, 1095, T10, or Damascus steel designations indicate genuine high-carbon blade grades. Stainless steel - while metal - cannot be properly hardened for blade performance and is characteristic of decorative pieces. The weight test: genuine carbon steel katana have a specific heft that differs noticeably from zinc alloy or stainless decorative pieces. Full-tang construction with visible mekugi pins is another marker of genuine blade quality. A T10 piece with a visible hamon provides the most definitive visual confirmation of genuine heat-treated blade construction.
What visual configurations are available in the real metal katana collection?
Real metal katana in this collection are available across a wide visual range that demonstrates the breadth of aesthetic options in genuine carbon steel construction. Orange and amber scabbard configurations bring warm-toned presentation to the genuine steel standard. Blue blade and blue scabbard configurations deliver the cool vivid aesthetic. T10 clay-tempered pieces with hamon provide the traditional craft aesthetic. Damascus steel pieces add fold-forged layered blade pattern. Gold blade and yellow configurations provide warm metallic tone options. Natural wood scabbard pieces offer the historically traditional exterior. Black and mix-color configurations complete the range. The collection demonstrates that genuine carbon steel is available across the full aesthetic spectrum, not limited to conservative presentations.
How does a T10 real metal katana differ from a 1045 real metal katana in quality?
Both T10 and 1045 qualify as real metal katana, but they differ significantly in blade construction quality and the specific characteristics they bring to the collecting category. T10 is a specialty tool steel with fine grain structure that responds exceptionally to differential clay tempering, producing the clearest and most active hamon of any available grade. A T10 real metal katana at the top of the collection is a piece that demonstrates the highest traditional craft standard - the hamon is its defining quality. 1045 carbon steel is the foundational high-carbon grade that delivers correct blade character with reliable construction - a genuine steel katana at the accessible tier. The material quality difference is real and measurable, but both grades deliver the genuine carbon steel construction that distinguishes real metal from decorative alternatives.
What is the care routine for a real metal carbon steel katana?
Genuine carbon steel requires consistent oil maintenance to prevent oxidation. After every handling session, wipe the blade with a soft lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture, then apply a thin coat of camellia or mineral oil across the complete blade surface and buff away excess. Perform this consistently after every handling - even brief examination. Store in stable-humidity conditions away from temperature extremes. Periodically inspect the blade under good light for early oxidation and address spots immediately before they progress. For T10 hamon pieces, ensure the oil covers the hamon boundary zone thoroughly. For gold or color-treated pieces, use only soft cloth - never abrasive materials. Regular simple maintenance keeps real metal carbon steel in excellent condition indefinitely.

The sword was damaged on the handle, there was a small piece that is missing from it. I thought it would have came sharper also. I had bought one before this one and it was sharper.

Sword looks beautiful but did come with a couple rusty spots. They offered a little discount and that made me happier. The sword was sharp but not as sharp as I thought it would be from the reviews and description according to the page. Overall still a beautiful sword that looks well made!

TrueKatana has adequate blades, primarily T10... best bang for your buck; especially for tameshigiri.r
r
When you order your sword, pray that nothing ever goes wrong because the company has ZERO customer service.r
r
I've ordered 11 swords from this company. Despite that, they NEVER tried to make amends for selling me a shinobi sword once that was fucked up beyond repair. When I lodged my reasonable complaint, they acted like I was full of shit.r
r
Any decent company would spare NO expense in satisfiying a good customer. Not TrueKatana... they know their customer base needs what they have so they punish you for it.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with TrueKatana absolutely deserves one.r
r
I initially received an incorrect item with my order. Mistakes happen, that part didn’t concern me. What did matter was how the situation was handled, and TrueKatana exceeded every expectation I had.r
r
From the very first reply, their support team was polite, responsive, and genuinely focused on making things right. They clearly communicated my options, worked with my timeline (this was a birthday gift), and went out of their way to minimize inconvenience. Instead of rigid policies or delays, I was met with flexibility, transparency, and solutions.r
r
The highlight? They arranged shipment of the correct sword promptly and ultimately told me I could keep the incorrect item at no cost—no return required. That level of trust and goodwill is rare, especially in online retail.r
r
What impressed me most wasn’t just the resolution, but how easy they made the entire process feel. No friction. No defensiveness. No hoops to jump through. Just professional, thoughtful customer care from start to finish.r
r
TrueKatana has earned a customer for life. Their customer service genuinely rivals what I’ve experienced with top-tier Fortune 500 companies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a purchase.r
r
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll be taken care of.
