This Tanto is simple and elegant. Just what I wanted. A couple of finish points could be improved, to be honest. The Saya, scabbard, had a small raised rough spot from debris in the finish. The point where the Habaki, ferrule, meets the blade at the Mune-Machi, notch at the back, is rough due to uneven surface match of the two metals. The Ha, cutting edge, had a bur. This was easy to remedy with less than five minutes of sharpening. Not razor sharp, but it will pop a few hairs. To be fair, the price was reasonable, it was handmade, and it was shipped quickly. Customer service was excellent for me. They responded in a timely manner and were very nice. This Tanto is well balanced, feels good in my hand, and displays well. I am happy with this knife. I collect knives and this one is a beauty.

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 blade is very sharp. The handle and the guard Are tight. The wrap is well done. The sword fits tight in the scabbard. Overall, in happy with the quality.

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

The Tanto came as described and looked even more incredible in person. Truly a work of art that must be experienced, a picture with my android phone won't do it justice. Functionally sharp as advertised, will be a great show piece to go along with my collection. True Katana never misses, their products have been stellar.

Really excellent quality. Especially considering the price. I wouldn’t describe it as especially sharp, but that takes hours and would Jack the price up.

I like it.

My order came out beautifully. Very pleased with it. My only question is whether the swords are really battle-ready or not because the website says they are but the pamplet that comes with the swords says not to use them to cut, slice and that they are for display over. I bought these as backup weapons to my guns so if they aren't battle ready that would defeat the point. But they are beautiful indeed!!!
