The two swords are fantastic, truly the best sword I've ever had in hand. They didn't take too long to arrive either, the only problem I have is that one sword is very different to unsheathe and ensheathe. It seems like the cut in the sheathe is off, but otherwise everything is great and would definitely order again.r

The first two are the ones I received from "TrueKatana". The topmost sword is the one with the sheathing problem.

The two katana true replicas are of very high quality. The blades' color is showing the knowledge of forging. The Tamahagane steel piece is of higher quality than the other one, a fact reflected also in its higher price point (beyond $1000 or colloquially a grand). The handcrafting of the tsuba (guard) for the one that I've chosen with the erotic samurai-geishas' motif is a very impressive work of art (see photos) and I would recommend it for both historians like me and passionate collectors of the medieval Japanese civilization. Very good work on the two scabbards and the other guard also. My only concern in regards to fabrication and construction is the fact that I would have liked to see brass or steel pegs where the hilt is mated to the tang area and not the traditional wooden pegs. It's ok for display purposes but it would be a problem when one starts to apply pressure and force through the blade when cutting or striking. Other than that I would recommend the purchase of models higher than $1k for true aficionados and for people who really want to test the blades' cutting ability. I will also return soon with another order for some Shirasaya katanas (sleek katana models without a guard) that were featured so artistically magnificent in the two Kill Bill masterpieces by mr. Tarantino !

Folded Damascus Steel Katana with Red Rayskin Saya, Gold Flower Tsuba & Black Ito |
This is the third sword I’ve ordered from true katana. Unfortunately this time I’ve received a chipped blade. Yes, It is small but takes away from the beauty of the katana. Everything else about the sword is beautifully crafted and I wouldn’t expect anything less from this company.

Orange Flame-Engraved Katana in High Manganese Steel with Dragon Tsuba - Dark Red Lacquer Saya |
The katana I recently purchased from TrueKatana was a thing of beauty! The timeframe on it was very reasonable and the engraving was a bit larger than I anticipated. The leather covered saya was exquisite and the steel was excellent.
The only concern was that I asked for the blade to be "ultral" sharpened.
We sell many katanas to martial artist competitors in Tameshigiri. Our katanas are usually rated by our BESS scale as 170 grams or less (As sharp as a double edged razor blade). We had asked for the "ultra" sharpness on this sword, but when tested, it came in at around 200 grams (closer to a single edged razor knife).
