Everything on the Katana was tight, Ito wrap, the fittings, tsuba, habaki. The blade does NOT wable. Heavy duty T10, for ridged durability, and a shape and elegant taper for the blade profile. Made for an excellent bamboo cutting sword.
The blade after cutting bamboo after bamboo, (28 stalks) had preformed above my expectations. It showed no signs of chipping, wearing, or anything that would affect the blade and make it go to failure.
It was right out of the box sharp and choji oiled.
I highly recommend this katana, a very skilled craftsman had assembled and forged this T10 blade. The Hamon is absolutely perfect and authentic.
Despite the reviews on Reddit, I was a little weary of dropping that cash on a sword like this, but it is for sure worth it.
I only hope that every katana on this site is assembled, forged with such skill and pride. For a Chinese sword made with Japanese traditional smithing, I can safely say that the katana you might be looking at is worth it.
They have excellent customer service.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword With Blue Damascus Steel Blade |
Its a good sword for 380 bucks the silk wrap is on there tight and the blade is sharp cuts through paper like nothing. The dragon isn’t red its orange but it still looks good. I just messed up and bought the sword before a big sale of 40% off, I could’ve got the sword for a lot cheaper and Instead of getting the sword for 233 I bought it for 360 oof

Arrived in a couple weeks and I'm quite happy with it. I believe this sword is worth what I payed. Nothing more, nothing less. It's quite sharp, has a nice weight to it, and feels well-balanced. My next katana will be one that was forged and folded and tempered in Japan. And maybe one day I'll be in a place to own a real katana (tamahagane steel). But this is a great first sword :) Thank you!

High-performance Exquisite Handmade Full-tang Katana Sword With Clay Tempered Blade |
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.

This sword is absolutely beautiful and solidly constructed. The leather wrapping of the saya is nice and tight, grip is wrapped well, and the tsuba is solid. T10 carbon steel is great quality for the price and the blade is nice and sharp. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
I was surprised by just how nice this sword is. When you buy a handmade sword for under $300, you're not expecting to use it fighting other immortals for their power, but I was actually blown away by how well it is made. The purple color of the Damascus blade is beautiful. It was way sharper than I expected it to be. The detail of the engravings and hand guard is perfect. The sword fits securely within the sheath, which is also very nice and the wrapping on the handle is tight and the spacing is very even in the cord. While my intention for this was a wall mounted display, I have found myself handling this sword way more than I expected. Shipping was lighting fast, I think about 4-5 days from order until it arrived. I will be buying my next TrueKatana soon!

Beautiful weapon. The scabbard and blade look exquisite. The red color on the blade adds mystique, yet you can still see the pattern and the balance is excellent. The handle and scabbard wrapping are firm and look fantastic. Definitely art and functionality fused beautifully.

I have absolutely no complaints with the swords Ive bought, this is the second one I have purchased and looks SO GOOD, it slides into the saya effortlessly and stays put, the blades comes oiled and protected and is great for fun or decoration.
