This sword is so beautiful! The attention to detail is amazing! Definitely worth the money and I will be ordering more!

Handmade Japanese Sekiro Katana Sword With Red Blade

I am happy with the blade overall, however, parts along the Scabard came broken off of the scabbard when I received it. Additionally, there was a large amount of hot glue at the end that was clearly visible.

My son LOVES his new sword.
Very happy with the purchase!

Katana is beautiful and sturdy! Only issue is the metal bracket used to hold the strap will slip along the length of the scabbard. I wish that would stay in place. But otherwise a beautiful katana.

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.

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!

I have held a real 95 gunto military sword and this one for the money is an excellent reproduction! Very sharp, so be careful! The metal is high grade carbon steel (1095) which holds its edge! A nice collectors piece without having to spent serious money on the real thing!

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.

Shipping was amazing. Price for sword far exceeded expectations.

It’s a well made and beautiful looking sword, it’s one of the best I had ever obtained.

The reason for only four stars however is that some of the fittings became loose and one came unglued shortly after receiving it.

Despite this I would (and probably will) order again from TrueKatana.

Only thing about it is that the end piece is wabbly but doesn't fall off

Either way good sword and great shine

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.

My bf loved it! The materials were high quality and the sword was excellently packaged so it wouldn't come apart while it shipped. Will end up purchasing another katana next time.

Absolutely beautiful!!! I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas and I’m so excited to give it to him.
Everything about it is good condition and the blade is very sharp.
Only concern is the packaging, it came in taped up styrofoam but must have been handled properly. It also arrived 4 days ahead of estimate :)
Overall I am mesmerized by the sword and wish I was keeping it for myself haha

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.

Beautifully made and arrived in a timely manner, especially considering it had to go through customs. Very impressed!

**we purchased the display case separately

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
