High quality, extremely sharp, excellent balance, and beautiful. I walk my 4½ pound Biewer Terrier in my back woods. Trailcams have captured single and double coyote and groups of feral dogs. I have the tanto on my belt and feel very safe and able to protect my tiny dog should I need to.

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.

Exactly what I expected. Perfect craftsmanship and value. I have 7 swords from True Katana and only one showed up on bad shape. r

The customer service people are indifferent assholes who won't help when something is wrong; but if your order is perfect, cool! Pray for good results, you may need it.r
r
One bad result out of seven is only about a 14% chance you'll waste your money on flawed trash. That's good odds!r
r
Don't resist the 86% chance to buy a good sword. The bad service and bad quality control is the chance you'll have to take.

The ito is semi-tight. The blade itself is very well done. Habaki is nicely done. The kahira and fuchi are very plain nothing special but the do their job. Sageo is definitely one of the nicer ones i have seen for a blade of this price.The Tsuba design is nice and the saya has a really cool design. Overall a nice collectors piece. I am happy with the selection.

The blade collard was not flat with the blade and the blade was not truly centered. I was very disappointed by the quality.

The Tanto sword is high quality and well-finished. The package arrived quickly.
Unfortunately, the wood sheath arrived with a seven-inch crack along the bottom.
The crack is where the Tanto, when in the sheath, has the sharp length of the blade.
I intend to keep the Tanto because of the high quality. It is first-rate.
If another wood sheath with a black gloss finish is available, please let me know.
Thank you,
D. G.

not a weapons expert but i don't think the saya should be loose and it came with damage to it so bad you could see the wood underneath the design. idk, if it wasn't as decently sharp(ish) as it is i would think it's a toy

This was my first time ordering a sword from Truekatana. My sword came as described, well packaged and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. If in the future I purchase another sword I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Here's my honest opinion about this tanto.
If i'm not mistaking myself the describtion said "razor sharp". I don't know if that was typo because this was not close to that sharpness at all.
I'm 51 years old and I know a thing or two about sharpening blades., so this i can fix myself easily.
The fitting between the habaki and saya is under all criticism. It was so poorly made that if you tilted it the knife fell out. NOT very safe. Again this i fixed.
This was definately not made by an experienced craftman.
If i were you i had contacted whoever you choosen in China to sharpen up, or searched for another blackdmith
After all, this has to do with your reputation. I don't blame True katana. I blame the amateur that made my tanto.

Handmade High Manganese Steel Dragon Tsuba Real Japanese Samurai Tanto Sword With Black Scabbard |
The Tanto Short Sword Katana is a very nice piece. The scabbard does feel a bit cheap in quality - almost like a strong pressed cardboard material. But it's certainly workable. The blade rattles inside of it, and "lock" very tightly in the scabbard. In other words, the sword could easily fall out of the scabbard if it is turned upside down. So, I can't give 5 stars. I do like the look of the piece though; and the sword itself feels like good quality.
