Stunning quality. The katana itself and the scabbard look and feel amazing. Came in great condition and was shipped quickly. I have got a few katanas from here now and this is my favourite though not one of them has been bad. 5 stars all day

The katana I recently purchased from TrueKatana was a thing of beauty! The timeframe on it was very reasonable and the engraving was a bit larger than I anticipated. The leather covered saya was exquisite and the steel was excellent.

The only concern was that I asked for the blade to be "ultral" sharpened.
We sell many katanas to martial artist competitors in Tameshigiri. Our katanas are usually rated by our BESS scale as 170 grams or less (As sharp as a double edged razor blade). We had asked for the "ultra" sharpness on this sword, but when tested, it came in at around 200 grams (closer to a single edged razor knife).

Deuxième commande chez Truekatana.com :)
Magnifiques.
2 petits regrets cette fois, dommage :
- les deux sabres commandés étant "en stock", la commande passée et payée le 28/5/2023 n'a été expédiée que le 11/6/2023 après ouverture de litige Paypal, et reçue le 16/6/2023 (Rapide FEDEX, bravo! ).
- le "Ray-Skin" du sabre noir est rouge et pas noir, ce qui fait que la poignée est rouge/rouge (ça fait beaucoup de rouge alors que le contraste rouge/noir aurait été parfait) mais ce n'est pas pour autant que je le renvoie car les frais de renvoi sont chers, et qu'il est magnifique malgré tout.

Un troisième regret : il est difficile de s'arrêter quand on contemple la naissance d'une magnifique collection ... :-D
