I don't have a pic of the sword only a video but I do have a pic of what it did to my thumb when I dropped it and reached for it mid-fall. The sword obviously came super sharp, it looked just like the pictures on the website. It cuts good (not just fingers) so please be careful. Cuts bamboo like butter. It's definitely carbon steel not stainless. The weight is good not too heavy but with enough heft it'll swing good. The hamon is beautiful, the saya feels good and durable. I've bought swords for about $200 that weren't anywhere near the quality of this sword. I got it on discount from the website, TrueKatana also upped the discount after it sat in my cart for a week so I couldn't pass it up at that point. Took about 7 days to get it even from outside the US. The only issue I've found is it needs two mekugi (pegs through the handle and tang) instead of just one. I got it for use not for show so two would've been preferable for rigidity. Also if you plan on sharpening you need the right stones to polish or it will scratch the blade. I felt good with my purchase, definitely got my money's worth. I will get another as soon as possible. Also I'm giving 5 stars because this is the first one I've bought at this price range and with only one thing I considered a con (the single mekugi) I have no reason to not give a full 5 star rating. I hope this helps anyone considering making a purchase.

Nicely made and looks good. Blade is nowhere near "razor edge sharp" as claimed.

I am very pleased with my purchase from this website. This actually my first time buying from here so I was very excited. The weight of the blade is excellent. It is sharp, so be careful handling this beautiful weapon.
I will be purchasing more in the future🔥👍🏽

Jury is still out. Fit and finish looks and feels good. Handle is wrapped tight, and nothing is loose yet. The scabbard is junk. Wood shavings are always on the blade. Blade cuts into the scabbard easily. The blade rattles around in the scabbard. The finish on the scabbard is amazing. The matte finish feels great and is easy to hold. The blue is very deep and looks amazing.

The katana I recently purchased from TrueKatana was a thing of beauty! The timeframe on it was very reasonable and the engraving was a bit larger than I anticipated. The leather covered saya was exquisite and the steel was excellent.
The only concern was that I asked for the blade to be "ultral" sharpened.
We sell many katanas to martial artist competitors in Tameshigiri. Our katanas are usually rated by our BESS scale as 170 grams or less (As sharp as a double edged razor blade). We had asked for the "ultra" sharpness on this sword, but when tested, it came in at around 200 grams (closer to a single edged razor knife).

Hello and thank you for my recent order. I am very pleased with my purchase. From ordering online and the on time shipping and delivery date, to the product itself. The quality of everything, from the length, the weight, blade and attention to detail of the whole package was perfect. I can not thank you enough. This was the first time in a longtime I was completely impressed with a company and product overall. Respectfully, we hope this continues. We will be ordering from you again soon.

Hello,
I can really recommend True katana, the katana I recieved is in fantastic shape, materials are great, tsuka-ito is tight, koiguchi is really tight and well done so the katana doesn’t fall out, the blade itself is really well done and even without any defects.
Even the customer support is really good.
The only downside is that the katana comes without box, stand and even without the silk bag. But the money/quality ratio makes up for it for sure!

Wow, what can I say. I have had swords before, but this time I decided to take a chance with a slightly higher grade sword from a supplier (TrueKatana) I have not used before and without seeing it in person first. I will say that the risk paid off. This is one of the nicest swords I have held. The ad said genuine rayskin, it feels real and looks great, so I am impressed. While at this price point you should expect quality, sometimes it’s just nice to actually get the quality that you’re expecting. This is one beautiful sword you can see the blade tempering is very well done. I have not used it to cut mats yet, but so far this feels extremely durable and up to the task. This is my second sword order from TrueKatana (my Chinese sword just arrived as well) and so far, this relationship is a win! If you are unsure, try a sword at a lesser price point from them and see for yourself. Be sure you know what you are going to do with the sword before buying so you pick the correct metal and type and you can’t go wrong. So far they get a passing grade from me!

I’m extremely satisfied with my order. I ordered a higher end sword and it came fully sharpened and is extremely sturdy. This is my first katana, however I showed it to one of my friends that is a collector of swords and he too was very impressed with the quality of the katana that I received. I will definitely be buying another in the future!
