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.

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.

I wish I had a picture to show how beautiful this katana is. I spent more on this one and the quality difference was immediately apparent when I pulled it from the Saya. The hamon is beautifully crafted and the blade is mirror polished with minimal scratches.The curve of the blade is extreme and awesome. It feels incredible and nimble in my hands. It is so far my centerpiece of my collection and although I know it would cut beautifully ,I don't want to damage this artwork. Ok with that being said the Saya was a disappointment, all the components of the Saya are great however the seam of one side was obviously apparent and had very rough edges along the seam almost sharp and the fit of the Saya is very tight which I'm not sure is a bad thing as long as it holds together. I'm very happy with quality and craftsmanship of this katana so I'm ok with the flaws in the saya but a little surprised it wasn't caught before shipping.

An exquisite craftmanship, very sturdy, genuine materials and really beautiful.
Only one point of disappointment, and it is a major one for me;
like written in your description of this Tanto :
- "razors edge sharp"
- "battle-ready swords"
- "built for cutting" (?!)
- "extremely sharp hand honed edge".
I am afraid it is not true.
I own a Katana with those qualities and this Tanto is not near
to cut something at all. It is even dull at some points to say the truth.
....but 4 stars anyway because it is awesome for display.

Authentic Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon TK-JP-KT19135 . I am very pleased with the quality of this sword. Everything fits nice and tight, there is no blade rattle once in saya. The Tsuba (Guard) and Kashira (pommel) show no casting imperfections. The Tsuka ito (Cord Warp) is the best I have felt. All parts are of quality. Although I haven't used it Tameshigiri (test cutting), I expect the blade to perform well. Small negatives - first, be in no hurry to receive the sword...3.5 weeks for me. Second, the list of "Do not ...." with this sword seems excessive and sometimes humorous.

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

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.

I got everything as advertised and in excellent condition! It even arrived in a very short time for international shipping! Pleasantly surprised by this company and will most likely order again.

I definitely recommend True Katana to anyone that feels skeptical. I went for a battle ready sword, display piece nonetheless. It could come in handy in some unforeseen circumstance compared to the cheaper swords when it comes to durability. It's all true to its description and just a slight scratch on the scabbard but not upset at all! I have my first Katana!!

Wow, what can I say. I have had swords before, but this time I decided to take a chance with a slightly higher grade sword from a supplier (TrueKatana) I have not used before and without seeing it in person first. I will say that the risk paid off. This is one of the nicest swords I have held. The ad said genuine rayskin, it feels real and looks great, so I am impressed. While at this price point you should expect quality, sometimes it’s just nice to actually get the quality that you’re expecting. This is one beautiful sword you can see the blade tempering is very well done. I have not used it to cut mats yet, but so far this feels extremely durable and up to the task. This is my second sword order from TrueKatana (my Chinese sword just arrived as well) and so far, this relationship is a win! If you are unsure, try a sword at a lesser price point from them and see for yourself. Be sure you know what you are going to do with the sword before buying so you pick the correct metal and type and you can’t go wrong. So far they get a passing grade from me!

I’m extremely satisfied with my order. I ordered a higher end sword and it came fully sharpened and is extremely sturdy. This is my first katana, however I showed it to one of my friends that is a collector of swords and he too was very impressed with the quality of the katana that I received. I will definitely be buying another in the future!

A very nice product for a relatively low price. The most obvious shortcoming of the swords isn't very obvious at all, and that is the rough interior of scabbards. Otherwise, the craftsmanship is clean. Shipment was handled well, and packaging thorough, although the blades were overly oiled and some oil had made it's way to the wood handles. The only annoyance has been repeated emails pestering me for this review.

I have always loved the look of wood. From the lines to the hue it has always been beautiful to me. Now True Katana has paired this magnificent wood with equally high-quality " true " hamon top of the line steel. You will find no better set in quality and awesome appearance for the money anywhere. Look no further. You have found the set you have been looking for.

I’ve handled real Japanese swords before and these are the real deal. They are so beautiful in person. They are nearly 8 millimeters thick at the widest part. They feel very sturdy and strong.
So far I’m very satisfied

Although not bad it has its problems being a loose scabbard and the polish on the blade wasn’t good either for a $700 katana .
