Well made budget swords. Sold feel. 4 stars as the hamon was ground/polished onto the blades not from actual clay tempering. Securely packaged. Relatively fast for international shipping to US.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword 1060 Carbon Steel With Brown Scabbard |
I've ordered 6 swords from Truekatana. This picture represents a Chinese Straight Sword and Chinese Broadsword I purchsed. I'm not a metalurgist, forgemaster or swordmaster. I learned a little Shao lin and wu shu broadsword in my youth, but that's about it. All that said these swords are truly functional, beautifully balanced and of exquisite workmanship. Besides being weapons they are beautiful works of art. I like to collect swords of all types and these two are among the most expensive I've bought, both being in the $1000 range. They are also, by far, the nicest.
I've also bought two katanas and two wakizashi. Though I did not venture into the same price range, they are truly viable weapons and beautiful art pieces.
Truekatana has truly exceptional pieces, fully functional as well as beautiful to behold. They are worth every penny and if you wait for a sale you will likely find something you like at a better than fair price.

Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Clay Tempered Blade |
I could not be more pleased with my order of the pictured katana. First, the packaging was very well done. Order arrived in a styrofoam box wrapped in water proof yellow tape. Inside, the blade was in its scabbard (saya) which was in a clear plastic wrap for protection. Upon removing the blade, I found it inside of an oiled tubular plastic wrap for corrosion protection. Second, the scabbard had a beautiful, consistent coloration and was made of hardwood with gold fittings - classy. Third the blade - 5/16" thick at the crossguard (tsuba) tapering to 3/16" at the tip. The differential heat treating line was stunning. The blade was very sharp and the handle was also covered in clear plastic wrap for protection. What a great value - I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Blade |
The sword looks fantastic. It was purchased as a gift for a student testing for his black belt, so all I can say is what I have seen - the craftsmanship looks good, the blade is sharp, the color is attractive, and the overall presentation of the sword is quality.

My first Naganata. I'm hooked. The most solid and we'll balanced sword I have purchased yet. The wooden Saya is a thing of beauty. The entire sword is gorgeous from top to bottom. It came perfect out of the box. Sharp, no rattles, fits perfectly in the saya. It will be my main blade to practise with going forward. Great job!

Handmade Japanese Naginata Samurai Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
Truly happy with the Katana. Obviously not traditional Japanese quality and materials, but for less that 1/10th of the cost of a real one...wow! the craftsmanship is pretty solid. Quick delivery and solid quality. Definitely worth the price and probably better quality than what I expected.

You get what you pay for!
Exactly as described.
Handle is on the cheap side but I probably only payed for the blade anyway!
