WWII Type 98 Shin Gunto Officer Katana - 1065 Carbon Steel with Brown Rosewood Saya and Alloy Flower Tsuba |
The item arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. I am pleased with this item but have made several minor alterations to improve appearance. the price was not too bad. I would buy again from this company if I found an item I liked and was priced right

The only recommendation I will make is please upload the physical dimension specs of the swords -- it would help with people who want to make custom stands or mounts. Otherwise these look lovely and are quality pieces I am glad I purchased. r

Very much "adult" style of katana, classy, and tasteful for my wall.

T10 Clay Tempered Daisho Set - Shirasaya Katana Wakizashi Tanto in Rosewood with Real Hamon 3-Piece Collection |
My order came in pretty quickly and the quality seems pretty good! It’s a gift so I have to wait till it’s opened to see how durable it is but it’s got good weight to it :D
|
WWII Type 98 Shin Gunto Officer Katana - 1065 Carbon Steel with Brown Rosewood Saya and Alloy Flower Tsuba |
Amazing quality. Everything is snug, tight, and very well-built. The tang is tightly wound with durable ray skin underneath. The end cap of the tang is snuggly fitted. The blade itself, while this will be used for display, is extremely sturdy. r
r
My main purchasing factor was that True Katana was the only company selling WWII katanas (olive color, rosewood, etc.), and all of the designs and effects are 100% accurate, with the reasonable exception that there is no stamp on the blade (but that's expected, because those forges did not make the blade). With that being said, for what this is, it's well worth the price. r
r
Also, shipping was very fast considering it came from China to America.

Great sword for the price. Could have been a bit sharper. But, I bought it mostly for display. It arrived much faster than I thought. I’ll definitely buy from True Katana again.

The swords are beautifully designed, crafted with attention to detail, and combine form with function. Shipping was very quick (9 days), and packed appropriately for distance and handling. The Hamon of the blades reflect the years of art and service to the legacy of the warrior. I am impressed.

Very pleased with this Katana purchase, excellent quality! I purchased a Wakizashi from truekatana a few months ago (also excellent quality) and knew I’d end up pairing it with a Katana that caught my eye. This model is exquisite, all components are well crafted with attention to detail that I’m still discovering. I cannot say enough good things about truekatana, the website design makes it easy to find the perfect sword, the ordering process is simple and easy, customer support is top notch, and shipment/tracking/delivery is a breeze! Stop thinking about it and just do it, find that perfect model and place your order, you’ll have no regrets, guaranteed!

Generally okay experience. The order came quickly, within a day and a half to be specific. The blade appears to be of good quality and made of decent materials. The top metal piece attached to the opening of the wooden part of my sheath fell off upon opening the package and unsheathing the sword.

The Japanese Daisho Set appears to be very nice aesthetically. Will make a nice display set.

I admittedly bought this sword and its shorter companion with the intention of cannibalizing their koshirae to be put on another blade, so I wasn't particularly concerned with the utility of the sword. However, I'll admit that when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it. The construction seems pretty tight, the blade while flat ground and through tempered has a pretty good geometry and feels solid. For the money I gotta say this is a really good buy.

WWII Type 98 Shin Gunto Officer Katana - 1065 Carbon Steel with Brown Rosewood Saya and Alloy Flower Tsuba |
shipped and arrived on time and very well packaged. no damage and blades were sharp and greased and wrapped in plastic film.
scabbards are beautiful and well-constructed. of the three the tanto, small blade was tight in the scabbard, but a little bit of file work corrected that issue and I put a very little bit of grease on the inside and worked the blade in and out to where it is now perfect. I applied furniture wax to the scabbard's and buffed and polished them to a high shine.
highly recommend these blades and they look great on the display stand.
