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!!!!!!

Blade is pretty dull. Everything else is tight blade is straight. Hard to draw from saya. Other one I ordered blade is bent and everything is loose but it was sharper 🤦♂️
I loved my 2 swords, very beautiful, they arrived quickly, a dream to decorate my office, thanks, regards

Great quality and design. Only fault is that the bottom of the pommel is abrasive to the skin when my hand is pressed against it while holding the grip.
