Customer Reviews

Rated 4.8 out of 5 based on 10,000+ verified purchases. Every review on this page comes from a real customer who bought and received their sword from TrueKatana.

The Blade
Razor sharp. Able to make quick work of any rigid cardboard on hand. No fuller, so expect a slightly heavier swing if you own other pieces with fullers. Manage expectations, as this is a sword and not an axe. I don't doubt that this blade would do damage to wooden targets, but I would also heavily advise against it. That being said, I can say that this blade does seem adequately durable and would probably hold up for a while, so long as proper care is given.
The Handle
Seems to be one of the primary draws of this piece. The cord wrapping alternating between black and white does make for a striking visual. In addition, the fittings and the wood itself feels durable, with no noticeable looseness felt. I personally like the understated hamidashi style tsuba on this piece.
The Sheath
Fitted very well to the rest of the sword. Continues the theme of black on white. Will not fall out on its own, which is really a majority of what one can ask for in a functional blade.
Conclusion
I don't have a definitive way to verify if this blade is T10. However, considering that all other aspects of the sword are adequate, I feel as though I got what I paid for in this piece. Whether it is function or minimalist aesthetic that drives your purchase, you will certainly be pleased with the steel that arrives on your doorstep

P.S. Use caution when opening the package, as it is packed tight in styrofoam and reckless unboxing may make a mess.

It's a beautiful sword and sturdy sword with fine craftsmanship and detail, well packaged and good delivery. The only issue i have is that the description of the sword on the site said it was razor sharp while on delivery i noticed it was quite dull.
This was something i specifically looked for upon ordering and was disappointed with when it arrived.
Maybe you could monitor the descriptions of the swords on the site better so customers buy exactly what they want in a blade.

Beside this one detail it's a fantastic sword and good service. Tamahagane Steel Katana with Hamon Blade in Black Saya & Green Ito Wrap

It was everything I hoped it would be. Great quality! My boyfriend and I recently watched Kill Bill and he jokingly mentioned wanting one, so I ordered this one. He had no idea what he was opening when it arrived and jokingly said "did you go to Japan and get me sword?" Lol. He finished opening it and was completely surprised. Great gift!

Order arrived swiftly, zero shipping issues, item came fully intact with no smudges or distention in the metal, it looks exactly like the pictures, is sturdily built and has an incredible balance due to the full tang design. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there are a couple of strange holes in the leather of the tsuka.
