Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!

High-performance Wwii Japanese Type 98 Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Saber Sword With Brown Scabbard |
Build quality is lacking in some areas. r
r
Packaging is terrible. It comes in a taped up Styrofoam container instead of a wooden or cardboard box. Its from China, but that's expected.r
r
The katana itself is decent and sharp.r
The outer finish on the saya is nice and looks exactly like the pictures.r
r
However, it was extremely hard to remove the katana from the saya, due to the habaki area getting stuck. I ended up having to lightly sand down the koiguchi area once I eventually got the katana out of the saya.r
r
Moreover, the blade rattles in the saya, which I'm not sure how I'm going to fix yet.

Love the Look of it online, but unfortunately the Dragon Carving is not as prominent as shown on the website. I’m not sure if this is on purpose or not but it seems that the lacquer/ varnish was over done and it covered the dragon carving to the point that it makes it almost invisible/ not easily seen.
Other than that I think that the Sword is amazing the Handle and the Tsuba are fitted great, I do wish that the Tsuba had a dragon design instead to match the Saya (sheath) but it’s sharp and feels really good in your hands.
If you want to buy it I’d double check regarding the Saya (Sheath) dragon carving and if it’s supposed to be dark like that or not.

So this was a good blade for the price. The sayia is loose but gorilla glue couldn't fix. As for the rest of the sword.
Hamon line isn't a real hammon for T10, but it is there'ish. It will cut but it being dojo ready without a bit of maintenance, it'll get there.

Authentic Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon TK-JP-KT19135 . I am very pleased with the quality of this sword. Everything fits nice and tight, there is no blade rattle once in saya. The Tsuba (Guard) and Kashira (pommel) show no casting imperfections. The Tsuka ito (Cord Warp) is the best I have felt. All parts are of quality. Although I haven't used it Tameshigiri (test cutting), I expect the blade to perform well. Small negatives - first, be in no hurry to receive the sword...3.5 weeks for me. Second, the list of "Do not ...." with this sword seems excessive and sometimes humorous.

Fast shipping, good build for the price. The materials used outside of the blade itself are light (inexpensive) so the sword feels light. But I didn’t purchase a $8000-$12000 katana, so I’m happy with this sword for its price. Would buy again from TrueKatana.

This sword is possibly the closest I have come to the "real deal" for an authentic Katana. The blade is impeccably beautiful and the overall characteristics are almost indistinguishable from ancient Tamahagane steel. This is a fantastic value for the price!

This white Katana was purchased as a gift for my daughter and I was amazed by the quality and workmanship of this sword.
The Hamon is very pronounced and absolutely awesome looking and the Bohi is perfect from habaki to the tip of the blade...the sword feels light in the hand is a perfect match for a smaller user or a young woman in this case..thank you True Katana.
