Amazing quality. Everything is snug, tight, and very well-built. The tang is tightly wound with durable ray skin underneath. The end cap of the tang is snuggly fitted. The blade itself, while this will be used for display, is extremely sturdy. r

My main purchasing factor was that True Katana was the only company selling WWII katanas (olive color, rosewood, etc.), and all of the designs and effects are 100% accurate, with the reasonable exception that there is no stamp on the blade (but that's expected, because those forges did not make the blade). With that being said, for what this is, it's well worth the price. r

Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

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.

Did not send me the right sword, or more likely sent me a sword which quality you can tell is not the same piece in picture. The sword is way sub par especially after I spent over a thousand dollars for this sword the blade clay tempering is a joke. I got ripped off make sure ur not next

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.

Love the sword , ordered easily , shipped quickly and arrived on time. Great product.
Ordered a WW2 Katana Japanese officers sword to make a display with the new repro sword and a demilitarized original Japanese officers sword that had been broke in half in order to be handed out as war booty. They look amazingly similar. Great product.

Sword was pretty sharp, seems like it was hardened pretty well. Hit it with a sharpener to see if it left little chips in the edge but didnt. A well made 1060 in my oppinion.

I don't usually leave feed back on my purchase but this is an exceptional piece.this sword immediately stood out from any Japanese blade I've owned before.its balance weight are impressive and the craftsmanship and materials are top shelf .despite the disclaimer in the box I had to give this blade a whirl...and holy smokes this blade is so sharp it cut through a grapefruit and left it sitting there in two perfect pieces ! And continued to do the same with five more! Scary sharp .the price is fair worth every penny! And it shipped
fast'got it within a week! 👍

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.

Took a while to get here but was less than a month, the quality of the katana is amazing and very sharp and already got some lube on it or something and the packaging was protective enough got here with no holes. Very satisfied, already on my wall
