Japanese Army Shin Gunto Officer’s Saber Sword Type 98 |
A great buy and amazing for the price. Very high quality. I got it because it can also be used like a katana for quick drawing. It's the perfect combo of a naginata and a katana.

Handmade Japanese (風雲海龍) Naginata Sword Pattern Steel With Green Saya |
The Tanto arrived in less than a week a was carefully packaged. As far as appearances go the item is exactly as pictured. The blue hue is brilliant and the blade is sharp. I will definitely be purchasing from True Katana again.

Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword With Blue 1060 Carbon Steel Blade |
Decent for the money. Had to glue some stuff back together, but not a huge deal. Good enough for training purposes and is sufficiently whimsical.

Handmade Aluminum Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana Samurai Sword For Beginner Training |
I've ordered 6 swords from Truekatana. This picture represents a Chinese Straight Sword and Chinese Broadsword I purchsed. I'm not a metalurgist, forgemaster or swordmaster. I learned a little Shao lin and wu shu broadsword in my youth, but that's about it. All that said these swords are truly functional, beautifully balanced and of exquisite workmanship. Besides being weapons they are beautiful works of art. I like to collect swords of all types and these two are among the most expensive I've bought, both being in the $1000 range. They are also, by far, the nicest.
I've also bought two katanas and two wakizashi. Though I did not venture into the same price range, they are truly viable weapons and beautiful art pieces.
Truekatana has truly exceptional pieces, fully functional as well as beautiful to behold. They are worth every penny and if you wait for a sale you will likely find something you like at a better than fair price.

Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Clay Tempered Blade |
The shipping was fast- I believe it was at my door 5 days from when I placed the order.
As for the katana, the Saya is plastic and the blade is aluminum, making it extremely light weight and easy to wield. I've only had it for a day and done some basic drawing/drills with it. Admittedly I am concerned about how it will hold up to even light contact, so time will tell.
For now I am happy with it, but the price does seem high for a practice weapon (based on the plethora of "sharp" edged, and probably poor quality, weapons I could have gotten for a fraction of the price). If I can get a couple years of use out of it, I'd say it was worth it.

Handmade Aluminum Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana For Beginner Training |
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.

Handmade Aluminum Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana Samurai Sword For Beginner Training |
This is a more expensive dull/practice katana than a lot of products out on the market, but totally worth it. Very solid build with great balance. A really excellent practice blade which closely resembles a katana. I have no concerns about really working out with this blade (have heard too many bad stories about poorly built practice katanas flying apart). Plus, the crazy fun pattern just makes me smile.

I really like this wakizashi, I do wish that there were either a second ring on the saya or that the single ring were movable to adjust for balance.
