I'm no expert, and won't pretend to be, but I did grow up around blades and martial arts and have owned many swords over the years. I'm 64 years old now, on the other side of some hardships and setbacks.
I still train with a boken, and have been since I was a teen, but I sold all my swords several years back. Life forced me to learn to do without, but as my life improved, I missed my swords and wanted to replace them.
My late Father was a cutlery distributor, so I built my previous collection with great discounts and lots of resources. I didn't have those advantages this time. I had to study the new market. So I began reading posts and watching reviews about the available makers and suppliers, as well as their specific offerings in my price range. This led me to take a chance on Truekatana and this particular offering.
I thought I owned some pretty nice blades before, but this one beats them all! I love everything about it! It feels great in my hand, and it is so much better than I hoped for. I immediately ordered another model katana, and I'm sure I'll be getting more in the future. It was packed well and arrived quickly and safely.
I'm definitely a huge fan of Truekatana!

Thank you very much for this beautiful katana. It arrived to me recently. Wow, the katana looks incredibly good. This design isbunique, I cannot find similar katana nowhere on the internet. Pure beauty. Just as described, craftsmanship and details on brondze parts are well made, the blade has got a very nice shape and visible hamon. Overall look is amazing. I want to thank you for your fast responses via emails and also fast delivery process without complications. There was a very short time at custom office in my country (Slovakia) and a day latter it got courier in his hands. I am totally satisfied.
Thank you.

The katana itself is glorious, absolutely glorious. A worthy piece of craftsmanship. However, when I ordered a “full-tang” blade, I thought the sword would he fucntionally sharpened. It’s essentially a blunt-edged blade, no cutting ability whatsoever.
