The black one on top, in the image. Excellent quality, a true masterpiece. I have compared it to my other one, white one. As far as quality, balance and cutting potential. The one I bought from true katana (black one) is unparalleled in every way.

Tamahagane Steel Katana with Hamon Blade, Purple Tsuka & Black Lacquer Saya - Koshirae Style |
Placed the order on July 14th and received the sword today. Apparently when TrueKatana says "in stock" that means in stock in China.....still, the tracking was not bad at all, I could log on and get info anytime, right up until delivery. I admit I was apprehensive about paying this much for a Katana, but I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with this purchase. r
The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, I cannot find a flaw in this blade, handle or scabbard. It even came with a neat silk lined case that I wasn't expecting. The Hamon is perfect, the blade has a beautiful taper and it is true to all the features of a WWII type 98 Shin Gunto. Anyone worried about the quality matching the price should buy with confidence, you will not be disappointed with this Katana!!!!!!

Good weight and a razor sharp blade! My only complaints are about the guard and the metal just below the guard dig into the hand/finger when in use.

Wow, This sword is nice. Great look and seems to be well made. Not actually razor sharp, maybe that’s good too. Shipping was faster than advertised and arrived in protected package. Seems like a great product for the price. I’ll be buying another in near future.

Damascus Steel Katana Red Blade with Purple Ito, Gold Dragon Tsuba - Full Tang Replica |
I received my order of a high quality katana blade and I have to say that I'm impressed with the way the sword is crafted. When I received the sword I opened it up and it's definitely seems protected with much wrappings and a box that contains it. I saw the blade and I did read from other customer reviews that there's oil/lubricant on the blade for it's maintenance.
I did read on the website that depending on the sword you order it does take some time to receive it. In my case it took 2 weeks. You can track your order when you log in notifying the locations your order is coming from so you don't freak out.
Other than that, I will make another order with this company again.

My girlfriend, who is a life long martial artist, literally went into tears after receiving this as her gift for Christmas. She's wanted a real sword since I first met her over 8 years ago and this Katana totally blew her away. I really appreciate the quick delivery (got here before Christmas) and the great craftsmanship. I'll likely be ordering another one again in the future :)

Manganese Steel Katana with Dark Blue Blade, Dragon Tsuba in Gold-Black, Blue Ito Wrap |
I LOVE the make of the sword, the balance, and the overall finish and design. The blade width (not the length or the thickness of blade!) was a little smaller than expected, but it was a small detail. The only negative comment I can have is the end of the handle, where the cap was put on. The cord started coming of, and I ended up having to secure it with ugly knots and melting the cord so it didn't come undone. If you practice with swords like I do, then you may want to get a sword that can handle more use. Perfect for display, and definitely battle ready, just not for extended practice with said sword.
