I’m excited about my shirasaya tanto! It is small enough to go with me, discreet enough to go unnoticed, and sharp enough to matter. Well done! The safety warning card was good for a load of laughs.

I must say I am completely satisfied with my order and blade is well oiled and everything is sharp and in great condition I’m truly appreciative for the care and time that truekatana took to make this tanto. Thank you very much I will be doing more shopping with truekatana from here on out when I want another blade. I can’t wait until my Katana comes in the mail. Thank you!!!!

i have never used truekatana before and i am quite satisfied with 2 tanto purchases i made from there. first off, was packed well and was protected coming to this country. the shirasaya tanto is beautiful and is very sharp-cant wait to test cut with it. As a true gamble i ordered a higher end more ornamental tanto and was in disbelief as i saw that the blade is probably the sharpest of any blade i have. I cant wait to test. i have no doubt both tantos are properly pegged, functional, and will perform! if i have one complaint its that everything should come with its respective swordbag. I will order from truekatana again for sure.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard |
This is a great tanto! Very well- made, with a sharp blade. The tsuba and grip are beautiful. I presume the sheath is made of wood. A great short sword for $80.00.r
Not a bad deal at all! Thank you.r

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
An exquisite craftmanship, very sturdy, genuine materials and really beautiful.
Only one point of disappointment, and it is a major one for me;
like written in your description of this Tanto :
- "razors edge sharp"
- "battle-ready swords"
- "built for cutting" (?!)
- "extremely sharp hand honed edge".
I am afraid it is not true.
I own a Katana with those qualities and this Tanto is not near
to cut something at all. It is even dull at some points to say the truth.
....but 4 stars anyway because it is awesome for display.

The sheath is very loose and slips off if I put it upside down so it’s a little dangerous to use can easily fall out of the sheath

Ghost of Tsushima Tanto - Jin Sakai Short Sword Replica 1065 Carbon Steel Blue Blade With Black Scabbard |
The items is nice, scabbard fits and holds well. Good ballance. Grip feals great. I would take this blade into battle. The little details make this a 3 star review or I would expect a better quality for the price point. They used too much glue, it seeped from places leaving a bead around the edges. There appeared to be something on the brass before they blackened it, that rubbed off and revealed a untreated surface or blemish. Minor scratches on some parts of the tang part. And it radles, somewhere in the handle something makes a rattling noise when you swing it side to side or quick rotations in the rust.

You get what you pay for!
Exactly as described.
Handle is on the cheap side but I probably only payed for the blade anyway!
