Fantastic sword, it’s sharp and well toned. I love the weight of the sword. Be careful with it and treat it right. It’s very high quality and much worth the money!

This wakizashi is a very beautiful and masterfully crafted piece.I also love the scabbard with shoulder sling that it comes with.The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the leather wrapping around the handle is brown and not black and I was wanting a full black wakizashi to complete my set of a black katana and black tanto.But overall it is still a very wonderful piece.

I bought this sword just to have something I could practice difficult twirls and fast draws with. I didn't want to risk getting injured using my real sword which is a competition cutting sword (a Last Legend Tsunami). And now that I am getting older and have arthritis, I need to be more carful.

This sword was better than I expect, but you need to know some things about it before you buy.

The blade is 28 1/4" long and the tsuka is 10 3/4" long which I am happy about. I like an 11" handle and a 29" or 30" blade. So this one is short but feels good to use.

They talk about balance with swords, but in the 40 years I have used them, I think it is more a question of weight. Swords that are heavy seem to be out of balance more than lighter ones. Anyway, this sword is so light that balance doesn't matter. You can hardly feel it compared to a cutting blade.

The saya is plastic. It looks and feels like a wooden saya but it's not. The problem is that the blade clunks around and makes a lot of noise when you put the sword away. You can control that a lot by how you put it away. Just press the back side of the blade downward against the opening as you push it in and that cuts out most of the noise. The habaki hits the mouth of the saya and that is were most of the noise comes from, but if you press the back of the blade down and push the tip up as you reach the end, it will go in nicely. It just takes getting used to.

I was disappointed that the same isn't real like the ad claimed, but for the price, I don't mind. I am going to rewrap it and replace the synthetic same anyway. As for the handle wrapping, it's not bad. It's not high quality silk or even cotton, and so it feels kind of rough. But it does stay in place and the diamonds are mostly even. The ito doesn't come apart from use so if you are not really picky, the handle is fine. The length is a little longer than they told me it would be.

The blade is really good. I had an expensive (2K) dull katana many years ago. It was really high quality, but it was too small for me so I sold it after 20 years. The blade on this sword compares with that one. It looks about the same and feels about the same. I really like it.

For the money there is nothing wrong with this sword. I like it. But I like expensive swords and want them to be perfect. So if I like it, most likely you will too. Just be aware that you might want to upgrade the tsuka or even the saya. I ordered a wooden saya for mine and once I replace the same with real same and wrap the handle, I think I will love this sword.

Both items arrived in good condition and on time.
The wooden katana is beautiful in its wrappings and scabbard and is a great addition to what I have.
The Iato has a good weight and clean lines and will be a good practice partner for Iado practice.

On the truekatana pictures the blade looks golden. In real life it is much more a brown metalic. I made the paper test to see how sharp the blade is. And it was not really sharp. Otherwise it is a nice sword.

The sword lived up to its expectations. It’s a gift for my brother’s 40th birthday, so I can’t really show you a picture of me wielding it because it’s not mine. However, me and my father gave a sneak peek test run of the sword and it is damn good of a sword. Very sturdy and I like the fact that it has some weight to it. Also, it is a very beautiful piece of artwork. Very satisfied. Thank you True Katana!

The sword was shipped quickly. It was very well packaged. The sword itself is a fantastic representation of the one from the series. The sword is also fairly sharp. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Another great thing also is the pamphlet that came with it. "Do not lick the sword" is listed as well as several more hilarious suggestions.
