Christian V Gomez Texas, United States

Shipping was lightning quick! However, the fit and finish aren't perfect, the center ornament on the scabbard is loose, the sword doesn't sheath well, and the ornaments on the hilt look rushed. At a distance, it looks fantastic which is not a bad thing but overall, It was good, not great but good

Every sword is better than the next. I am consistently impressed with the quality of Truekatana. Their colored blades are absolutely gorgeous, and the steel-grade appears to be exactly what they claim it is.r
Shipping was also very fast and well-packed.r

Handmade Chinese Straight Double Edged Sword High Manganese Steel Han Dynasty With Brown Scabbard: r
The "fishscale" engraved Jian is a work of art. Perfectly balanced and handsome redwood, I can see why they tout this model as something of a flagship.r

Handmade Chokuto Ninjato And Tanto Sword Set With Blue Blade:r
The blades are the selling point here. They are a lovely deep-blue with a slight reddish purple gradient in the light, with a striking pattern down the spine. The pattern is adhered very well to the surface. The grips and fittings are a bit on the cheap-side but they are designed for "minimalist, tactical use" so they may just what some people are looking for. The blades are still full tang, as evidenced by the great balance point.r

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Golden Blade And Brown Scabbard:r
This is a hidden gem. I feel like it resembles a "Dao" in many ways, but the blade does appear to have a traditional katana-style taper. The use of leather and the bronze-like highlights on the scabbard are stunning. The golden blade is a subtle hue, not overpowering, giving it a very classy appearance.r

All of these swords feel rock-solid in your hand. Highly recommended all around
