Our swords are made of quality materials,each sword we make is handmade with care, fully functional, and capable of test cutting. Also if you are considering buying them as collections or gifts for your friends, That would be the best choice.
i have never used truekatana before and i am quite satisfied with 2 tanto purchases i made from there. first off, was packed well and was protected coming to this country. the shirasaya tanto is beautiful and is very sharp-cant wait to test cut with it. As a true gamble i ordered a higher end more ornamental tanto and was in disbelief as i saw that the blade is probably the sharpest of any blade i have. I cant wait to test. i have no doubt both tantos are properly pegged, functional, and will perform! if i have one complaint its that everything should come with its respective swordbag. I will order from truekatana again for sure.

Handmade Japanese Aikuchi Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
Exactly what I expected. Perfect craftsmanship and value. I have 7 swords from True Katana and only one showed up on bad shape. r

The customer service people are indifferent assholes who won't help when something is wrong; but if your order is perfect, cool! Pray for good results, you may need it.r
r
One bad result out of seven is only about a 14% chance you'll waste your money on flawed trash. That's good odds!r
r
Don't resist the 86% chance to buy a good sword. The bad service and bad quality control is the chance you'll have to take.

Handmade Short Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon |
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.

High-performance Japanese Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel |
The sword has a silver scabbard and hand guard. That's not what I ordered, I wanted the white one. Also the last 3 inches of the blade at the hilt was dull. Beyond that the blade is fairly sharp. For what I paid I guess this is what I get. Retuning it won't work as I'm disabled. Just know that I'll be going elsewhere to make future purchases. Thanks.

Handmade Japanese Ghost Of Tsushima Short Sword With Blue Blade |
The items is nice, scabbard fits and holds well. Good ballance. Grip feals great. I would take this blade into battle. The little details make this a 3 star review or I would expect a better quality for the price point. They used too much glue, it seeped from places leaving a bead around the edges. There appeared to be something on the brass before they blackened it, that rubbed off and revealed a untreated surface or blemish. Minor scratches on some parts of the tang part. And it radles, somewhere in the handle something makes a rattling noise when you swing it side to side or quick rotations in the rust.

Handmade Japanese Double Edge Tanto Sword Full Tang |
Seems the metal is very good quality. The furniture is a good quality. The size of the Tonto is a little large, more like an O Tanto. Still that’s a minor point. It’s a great blade.

Main reason is there’s some white and blueish green crude all over the guard . I think it’s a great show piece and possibly a tool but I have yet to test it out forged in fire style

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword Damascus Steel |
I have purchased over a dozen items so far. I absolutely love my swords and stands. Some scabbards were not tight as they warp a tiny bit with heat changes in shipping. This is only a couple out of the many. Customer service was extremely helpful and explained this to me as well as a way to fix on my end. 5 stars. Great business, great products and great customer service. Thanks.
