Handmande Japanese Hamidashi Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
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.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Tanto Sword High Manganese Steel |
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 Aikuchi Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
Tanto was beautiful. Finishing was a little rough, I’ve seen the same fittings on other tanto’s, and the blade was loose in the Saya, I glued a small shim on the bottom of the opening, problem solved, but the quality is on the high side of good. Remember this is a 79.00 blade, Quality control in not at its finest. That being said, I enjoy the purchase and would buy another one if the need arises. Aesthetically it is a beautiful blade and makes for a good display piece. Its size might surprise you, the blade is over 12 inches long. I am overall Satisfied with the purchase.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang |
Nice, solid, hefty Tanto short sword. Seems to be well-built and includes a wooden sheath. The top of the edge near the tip is sharp, although; the further you go down the edge the less sharp it becomes. Not a bad sword for the price and steel used.

You get what you pay for. It’s a $70 tanto, certainly sharp and cool, but straight out of the packaging with messed up leather under the wrapping and the leather looks like white styrofoam.
