Wow! Amazing quality for the price I paid. Another excellent piece from TrueKatana!

The sword arrived as scheduled, which was pretty darn fast. The boxing, padding, and Styrofoam kept everything snug for shipping. No dings or marring on any pieces.
As for the sword itself, it's a well balanced, sharp, and overall aesthetically pleasing to look at. Absolutely gorgeous!
I was somewhat baffled by the accompanying literature of do's and don't's. It cautioned to not take the katana apart. That was one of the things that I was looking forward to with my first real katana. I've owned a ninjato and currently have a cheaper non full tang katana that's glued together, which I can't take apart. Be that as it may, I am still extremely pleased with the katana.

Very nice and well made. The sword stays in its wooden sheath until you pull it out. This was a concern for me as
I had ordered the same style sword from another company and the wood was bass wood. It’s a soft wood, the sword falls out of its wooden sheath on its own!!
So I was quite impressed with the construction of this sword from True Katana. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Minus a star for poor sheath retention which I fixed with a thin layer of wood glue.
Good blade and handle quality otherwise.

I already had the wakizashi. Now I have the Katana. It is beautiful in its simplicity. Very well balanced and feels tight and solid. I look forward to practising with this well built blade.

I love it and my friend loves it, the only "downside" is that it isn't very sharp personally I would like it sharper for cutting stuff but over all it's a great blade and I rlly love it

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!

Perfect, my sister loved it and will probably chase me around with it!

My first order from True Katana and it is beautiful. The blade is very nice, and the rest of the Katana is well done. I know it says that these are strictly for decoration, but it sure looks like it could put a hurt on a person. Of course that person could be me so it is going on the mantle.
