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.

This was my 3rd purchase from True Katana. But it's my first straight blade Katana (don't know the technical name) Very sleek and stylish. I love the simplicity of this sword. It came packaged well, the blade was wrapped in plastic and had a layer of oil to preserve it. Very sharp!!, feels good to hold and swing. Don't know if they make a set of this or not. I find no irregularities, no wobbling what so ever and it slides in smoothly. The Katana is exactly what they post on the site, just looks better up close and personal. Very pleased with this purchase.

It came earlier than expected and let me tell you it's down right a masterpiece.

As soon as you see this katana, you understand that is such a great piece of art. But as soon as you take this sword, which we often see on TV screens, out of its sheath, you understand that the master blacksmith not only worked on it for many days but also put a bit of his soul into his work, which seriously lets you know the weight and shine of the manganese steel, playing with the rays of the afternoon sun.

Awesome sword, it came very sharp too! I'm not that familiar with Manganese steel but from what I've read it's quite strong. I'll be making another purchase for sure!. Great Experience with True Katana.

Purchased for my son for Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Katana and the workmanship put into it. This is his first 'collector' piece and we will definitely return for his other pieces. In October I plan to ask for one of the one thousand folded, clay tempered either Tachi or Katana for my birthday.
This Katana is a very beautiful piece and the well wrapped saya matches the tsuka ((handle) with the same Samegawa (PU Ray-skin) and PU leather wrappings creating a beautiful finished piece. The tsuba is iron and crafted well with a simplistic design. The handle and the saya do feel well made, though it's difficult to tell entirely. The saya fits the blade very well, 'locking' the blade in place so it cannot accidentally slide out as long as it is pressed in properly. The black blade is aesthetically pleasing and my son loved the added 'mystery' it gave the overall all black, obsidian obscurity, as he now calls it.
Very happy with our purchase.
