Build quality is lacking in some areas. r
r
Packaging is terrible. It comes in a taped up Styrofoam container instead of a wooden or cardboard box. Its from China, but that's expected.r
r
The katana itself is decent and sharp.r
The outer finish on the saya is nice and looks exactly like the pictures.r
r
However, it was extremely hard to remove the katana from the saya, due to the habaki area getting stuck. I ended up having to lightly sand down the koiguchi area once I eventually got the katana out of the saya.r
r
Moreover, the blade rattles in the saya, which I'm not sure how I'm going to fix yet.

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon With Black Scabbard |
The sword is absolutely beautiful and sharp enough to shave with. The scabbard is like the design is engraved into the leather before being painted silver with is pretty cool. It's sturdy and the blade fits nicely in the scabbard. All in all I'm happy with this new addition to my now 7 katana sword collection.

Handmade Japanese Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon Full Tang With Silver Scabbard |
Nice solid blade. Arrived quite sharp and with a bit of oil applied which is nice. Only flaw is the blade fits quite tightly into the shirasaya (scabbard) right at the tsuba but nothing a bit of light sanding won't fix (which i plan to do). Nice beginner iadio training blade, it also looks beautiful in person.

Well made katana, I received the katana just how described, I love the hamon and everything about the fitting are nice and tight how they should be, the only thing I have to complain about is the paint job of the tsuba other than that beutiful sword thank you.

I just bought This katana and it’s beautiful. It came with dragonfly designs. This is one great piece of artwork.

Handmade Japanese Samurai Sword 1000 Layer Folded Steel With Red Scabbard |
A great katana with good weight for practice.
I've been looking for a dull, yet rightly weighted katana to practice Iaido with at home and this one hit the spot. The white coat does wear off somewhat quickly when sheathing, but as this is a training tool, wear and tear is expected.
Overall I'm quite satisfied with the design and quality of the katana.

overall experience:
website is easy to use, has an extremely wide selection, and explanations for different product types. i was a bit skeptical of the advertisements and customer reviews, but TrueKatana is legit. every sword they advertise is exactly how it appears when delivered; these swords are great for cosplay and iaido/iaijustu.
for sharp, “battle-ready” swords, they are reviewed to not be the sharpest or most effective for regular sharp use. however you’re better off spending more for a better piece that will last longer because TrueKatana is more for display anyways
my personal order: i ordered an aluminum non-sharp katana for practice and display; it’s a solid piece that is assembled with nice quality. would order again if ever interested in a second one. i was able to track my order as well all throughout the process
TL;DR: very honest advertisement for nice blades at reasonable prices. you get what you order. but don’t expect an amazing cutting/sharp sword; spend more money on a better sword for those purposes

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword Damascus Steel Real Hamon With Mix Color Scabbard |
I bought the Japanese Katana Sword, Damascus steel with Dragon Tsuba for my husband. AND I am very pleased. Shipping was fast and the sword is everything they said it would be, came packed tight in a Styrofoam case, undamaged and completely assembled (have seen some web site where after receiving the sword it has to be assembled – not what I wanted) The sword was greased and very sharp. This website has instructions on how to clean and maintain the sword, very helpful.
For some reason I ordered twice and, in my panic, to correct this I sent a couple of emails. Customer service was very prompt and helpful, the extra order was canceled, and my money quickly refunded. If you are looking for a great Katana Sword, I recommend this company

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blue Blade And Black Leather Scabbard |
Overall the product itself was exactly what I ordered. I seemed skeptical the the sight could provide high quality blades for the decent price, but overall was impressed with how it turned out. Took about two weeks to ship!

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Blue Blade And Black Leather Scabbard |
The product is good however it had a strange musty smell. When you put the katana in the case sometimes it doesn't fit properly.
It is not the first time I buy here as you can see from the photo nor will be the last despite the inconvenience.

Handmade Japanese Tachi Odachi Sword Pattern Steel With Black Scabbard |
I bought this for my father in law who is a martial artist and loves weaponry. He is also a gardener and so the design on this suited him perfectly. This man only cries when he gets things made by the grandkids… although his tears were held at bay they were there as he looked and immediately started doing his sword forms. He had a huge smile so I think he loved it.
