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!!!!!!

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

Sword is beautifully made. The shipping process was quick and I have 0 issues regarding the sword I received, however, the sword is not as sharp as I was expecting it to be, I'd just recommend getting some whetstone if that's important to you.

Love it, love the wooden sheath, first one I have that is not either leather or lacquered. Really like the blend of red and black in the blade. Overall very happy with my purchase. Got a few more in mind that I plan to buy from you guys at some point. Thanks again.

Rather quick delivery to Germany, which I was very grateful for since it was supposed to be a last-minute christmas present.
The katana itself is amazing! Solid workmanship, a beautiful colored blade, fitting scabbard.
My husband is a huge Sekiro fan and as someone totally inexperienced with swords, katanas, etc I had to trust on the truekatana-team. No regrets!
Husband is very happy with his gift!
I would order here anytime again!

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!

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.

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.

Wwii Japanese Army Officer's Shin Gunto Samurai Sword Type 98 With Camouflage Scabbard |
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.

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.
