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.

The shipping notifications we lackluster in the beginning but after a week is worked out. r

I never intended to use this sword for anything but display and it fits that purpose perfectly!

The sword arrived less than 15 days, very fast shipping. The sword is very sturdy and the quality is great, for the price!! The edge is not very sharp, which is okay. It is very unfortunate that the blade and tsuka cannot be disassembled for maintenance. That would be my only compliment

It was even better than I expected. It arrived faster than the original estimated time. Also, the pictures on the website did not do justice to this true work of art. A real beauty if I say so myself. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Generally okay experience. The order came quickly, within a day and a half to be specific. The blade appears to be of good quality and made of decent materials. The top metal piece attached to the opening of the wooden part of my sheath fell off upon opening the package and unsheathing the sword.

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! 👍

Nice workmanship, but fits a little loose. I used to have an ‘actual’ officers sword, and it had a metal latch to keep the sword from falling out is the scabbard. Would be nice to see if you could replicate this. I would definitely buy such a sword: practical and pragmatic.

Initial product is nice.

However glue used for the hook and ornaments was horrible, had to superglue them after not long.

Habaki is slightly loose, although it isn’t a problem thankfully.

Would recommend for a first buy, as I did, but not for anyone who collects them.

Great sword, fast shipping considering it came from China to the middle of the US. A little disappointed the sword did not come with the sarute.

Was a little put off by my item shipping from China. It makes me doubt the manufacturing and quality.

It still looks like a great sword

I recently decided to start collecting WWII Japanese swords so I purchased a Type 98 Shin Gunto reproduction from TrueKatana to see what these swords looked like back in the day. The quality of the sword was very good, very reasonably priced and only took a couple of weeks to arrive. I will definitely buy from them again!
On a side note, a few months ago I purchased a beat-up Type 98 Shin Gunto at a garage sale for a few hundred bucks. I found Ishido Teruhide's name on the tang as the swordsmith. The blade has been authenticated and now I know what it should look like when it's fully restored!

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.
