The sword was damaged on the handle, there was a small piece that is missing from it. I thought it would have came sharper also. I had bought one before this one and it was sharper.

Another beautiful sword! The reason I chose the Phoenix theme is because in the middle of May 2040CE The Mandate of Heaven will occur. This is caused by the Phoenix weapon. The 6th seal of Revelation, the sun will darken, worldwide volcanism & earthquakes, oceans slip basins, red rain red mud will fall from the sky. And the return of the Vapor Canopy. Cheers!

Damascus Steel Katana with Purple Folded Blade - Dragon Tsuba in Gold with Black Red Speckled Saya |
I like knives and I have different types of knives and hand sharpener, electric sharpener (Tormek). I keep my knives always sharp. First time owner of a Katana. First impression is good. The steel is original Damascus. The hamon looks good. r
r
Things I did not like much:r
1. It was written that it is razor sharp. No, definitely not razor sharp, even noth sharp. It doesn't cut folded paper towel even though I press much. With fingers, I don't feel the sharpened. After sharpening my knives, I test them and I am what is sharp and what is notr
2. Polish is not good enough. In some points of blade, with my nail, I can easily feel the Damascus layers.r
3. Habaki: design is good, but workmanship looks poor, machine made.r
4. Saya: The thing that really bothered me was the saya. When you shake the blade, it makes wabbling noise. The blade does not perfectly fit to Saya. r
r
I think for this price, it was good enough.

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon in Black Pearl Rayskin Saya - Gold Floral Tsuba |
This is one of the finest budget class Katanas which you will never go wrong buying. This katana has a sleek design, scabbard feels a bit cheap but for this price it’s still in good quality. For those wondering of the sharpness then I can proudly say this katana will cut through paper easily. Overall I’m very happy with the design and sharpness with my katana, thank you TrueKatana!

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Katana with Real Hamon in Black Matte Saya - Lotus Tsuba Collectible Sword |
Very well made. r
The Tsuba is a bit thinner than I expected, but that is not necessarily a problem. r
I also note that the balance point is about 5 inches forward of the Tsuba - a bit farther forward than most. It works for me as the sword handles quite well.

They never gave me a shipping date so it showed up with out me knowing, but was packaged well could be sharper in spots on the blade but looks to be decent quality workmanship. Already bought a second one different style.

T10 Steel Katana with Clay Tempered Blade, Real Hamon in Black Piano Lacquer Saya |
Exactly as ordered, no wobble or looseness anywhere. Sharp right out of the box. Saya has a friction fit and I worry it may wear out but aside from that small issue it is perfect.

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon - Black Ito Handle and Gold Silk Thread Saya |
This katana is now my favorite and I've bought over 7 from TK ,the reason is it's special blade geometry which makes it very light and fast with one hand. The hamon and polish are impeccable and the blade a beaty.The other reason is the fit and finish is flawless and especially love the fit of the Saya and its elegant silk string. Wanted to take this opportunity to recommend the t10 folded naginata's I've included, these have the same blade geometry as katana reviewed (which also makes them light)they are 1 3/8" tall the whole way through the blade(which is the same length)opposed to a 11/4" tapering to 1". These naginata's are bigger and badder ,you won't be sorry you picked one up.

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon - Black Ito Handle and Gold Silk Thread Saya |
I purchased 5 katana from 5 separate stores. This one had higher quality and tracking than all the others. The balance was good. The sword stays appropriately in the saya/sheath when turned upside down, and there is no rattle in the saya when you gently shake it.
The sword was able to handle tameshigiri on tatami goza without incident for a 1/4 sized, 1/2 sized, and full-sized roll. Other katana started to chip at the blade, had pulls in the tatami on their cuts, or simply couldn't properly slice.
The only downside is all others came with a bag, and this one did not, but as it is the one that will continue to be used, it is not much of a downside.

So this was a good blade for the price. The sayia is loose but gorilla glue couldn't fix. As for the rest of the sword.
Hamon line isn't a real hammon for T10, but it is there'ish. It will cut but it being dojo ready without a bit of maintenance, it'll get there.
