Very cool looking, decently built. A couple minor parts of imperfections as seen in the picture. (On handle in the red sections between the braided black wrapping is a spot missing of something)

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

Sword was shipped quickly! Looked to be in great condition. The wooden scabbard is satisfying to look at. The red and black blade gives a mystical feel. 10/10.

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

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!!!!!!

Great sword for the price. Could have been a bit sharper. But, I bought it mostly for display. It arrived much faster than I thought. I’ll definitely buy from True Katana again.

Thanks

Katana is beautiful and sturdy! Only issue is the metal bracket used to hold the strap will slip along the length of the scabbard. I wish that would stay in place. But otherwise a beautiful katana.

I admittedly bought this sword and its shorter companion with the intention of cannibalizing their koshirae to be put on another blade, so I wasn't particularly concerned with the utility of the sword. However, I'll admit that when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it. The construction seems pretty tight, the blade while flat ground and through tempered has a pretty good geometry and feels solid. For the money I gotta say this is a really good buy.

I must say, I am very impressed with my purchase. A very good looking and well built sword for the price. Shipping is fast and I will have no hesitation buying from TRUEKATANA again.
Thanks Trukatana Jimka

I have held a real 95 gunto military sword and this one for the money is an excellent reproduction! Very sharp, so be careful! The metal is high grade carbon steel (1095) which holds its edge! A nice collectors piece without having to spent serious money on the real thing!

I really wish I could give 5 stars, but I received a damaged product. I was given a 25% discount, but I would have much rather had the sword in good condition than have some money off. However, the two katanas I got are still very cool and I love them, hence why I would want to give a 5. However, for the price I wish the condition was better.

Initial product is nice.

However glue used for the hook and ornaments was horrible, had to superglue them after not long.

Habaki is slightly loose, although it isn’t a problem thankfully.

Would recommend for a first buy, as I did, but not for anyone who collects them.

My bf loved it! The materials were high quality and the sword was excellently packaged so it wouldn't come apart while it shipped. Will end up purchasing another katana next time.

Wwii Japanese Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Sword Type 98 With Black Blade

Absolutely beautiful!!! I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas and I’m so excited to give it to him.
Everything about it is good condition and the blade is very sharp.
Only concern is the packaging, it came in taped up styrofoam but must have been handled properly. It also arrived 4 days ahead of estimate :)
Overall I am mesmerized by the sword and wish I was keeping it for myself haha

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

Nice looking katana but soft steel, and bendable by hand. Definitely a wall-hanger. If this really is made of T10 then there's something wrong with the hardening/tempering process. I wouldn't recommend using it for cutting or sparring, etc.

This was a wonderful experience...
Thank you so much for your prompt service...
The katana was beautiful and well made...I will order again from you.❤

The sword is beautiful. The tip of my handle is lose and I thought it would be “razor sharp” as advertised but it’s not even sharp. I’m really pissed of about that.

Good quality product, looks great. When I had a question about the shipping the customer service was prompt as well. Thanks!
