Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade |
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.

The sword is solid but nimble with a more slender blade,but the red black leather handle with the solid suba and the cool red blade combined with the flawless wood saya makes this a piece to just show off. It's a beaty.

Everything was clean and nice. Until I checked out the sheathe and noticed some metal pieces comming off. The glue keeping the metal seemed to have came undone.

The sword is beautiful, and actually higher quality than I expected. Obviously refrain from hitting it against stuff, but it’s still sharp either way. I’m still amazed at the accuracy!

Excellent product, got delivered on schedule and with no major issues. A small problem was one of the rings on the sheath came loose, but thats easy enough to fix with glue.
Would absolutely recommend true katana for any other items. It looks great.

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!

Nice looking katana but soft steel, and bendable by hand. Definitely a wall-hanger. If this really is made of T10 then there's something wrong with the hardening/tempering process. I wouldn't recommend using it for cutting or sparring, etc.

Wwii Japanese Army Officer's Shin Gunto Katana Sword Type 97 With Brown Scabbard |
Everything was as expected very professional . Made nicely and extremely razor sharp. This is something I would recommend to anyone looking for a real nicely made katana . I chose this specific style because I was looking for something that resembled a ww11 Japanese warrior sword and this does. All the way down from the design and coloring. Handle design. Thank you true katana for the nice craftsmanship.
