The quality is immediately noticed when you take it out of the box - glossy saya with quality braided sageo . The blade handle sports a stiff sami and tight enough ito. This blade is of the construction Kamasu-Kissaki (straight edged tip), but TrueKatana do not explain this. That blade style is the reason why I purchased it, which is rare to find on the internet. I named it Zyro. I enjoy taking its tempered blade under the sun, showing its very unique Noi pattern.

Handmade Japanese Wakizashi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Black Scabbard

Well, I ordered this beautiful Wakizashi together with a expensive Katana for my dad, and the 2 Swords arrives today. r
About this brown Wakizashi: As it was stated to have a 26cm Tsuka, and as seen on the website to have a Bohi on the Blade... I ordered it. All in all, the Wakizashi has been looking awesome in pictures.r
r
Today it arrived, and unfortunately, the Tsuka was only 21cm long, and the Blade didn't have a Bohi (Blood Groove).r
r
I ordered from Austria, I had to wait quite some time and was very unsatisfied with the short Tsuka and Blade without the Bohi. Yet, I was very surprised, by how kind, service-orientated and extra-ordinary-professional these guys handled it.r
r
The swords looks awesome, but still, I was dissatisfied, so they offered me some ammount of refund which honestly, arrived a couple of hours ago. I am quite happy with this solution and still, the Swords are pretty decent, feel like quality-items and the team handled this very fast. The Katana is absolute awesome... so thank you a lot !

I purchased a full tang battle ready Damascus katana for myself. My selection is a simple design at nearly a thousand US dollars. That level of investment was based one two factors, positive rati gs of prior purchasers and my experience while living in Japan as a child. After several days of running the sword I bought two wazikaski and a tachi for my son and daughter (respectively) as heirloom items for them to pass onto future generations. r
All four are well build instruments. I am very happy to have found True Katana...and will likely buy more because of the craftsmanship (but do not expect to ever need another based of quality and performance of my initial purchase).

Very pleased with the quality of the sword. The blade is top notch, construction of handle/guard and overall piece is better than I expected. Glad that I bought it!

I am a practitioner of Iaido. This is normally done with a sword that is blunt. I did want something with a live edge. I am happy with the quality of the build. I purchased these two items and I actually had the smaller one customized to match the bigger one. I appreciate their communication and it was easy to have the discussion about what needed to be done. I was constantly updated and in contact with them. They were pleasant in their conversation, everything happened at an expedient and I am happy to say that I am pleased with my purchase.

Shipping was fast, and tracking was very accurate. The Wakizashi is a wonderful looking piece. I will most certainly be ordering another sword from True Katana in there near future!

Well made and very sharp. Clearly a real weapon and not a fake, brittle display toy.

Short Katana, Handmade Wakizashi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Green Scabbard

This is the second unit I purchased from TK ....the
sword is very hard to remove from the saya. The brass
fitting, once it goes into the saya, it becomes almost
imposible to remove without using a screwdriver and excert some torque to it.
Can you send me a UPS label to return and have it replaced..???
Thanks

Fantastic quality and great customer service. After placing an order for this Wakizashi, I stumbled across a different model that called my name. A quick email to truekatana support asking for a swap was met with a quick reply and assurance that my 2nd choice would be shipped. When it arrived, I held my breath and was delighted to lay eyes on the model that I wanted. The quality of the blade, tsuka, tsuba, pommel, scabbard is amazing, very impressed. If you are in the market for a katana, wakizashi, tanto, or any blade then you need to browse and choose what speaks to you, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

The contact email was responsive and helpful. I asked for a short katana, being short. I asked for a not sharp katana, being a beginner, and they complied, although you could still hurt someone with it for sure. The sword is beautiful, wood handle and sheath (sorry have not learned the lingo yet).

For the price this is a great wakazashi. Sharp, the dragonfly them is awesome, the saya (scabbard) made of rosewood is very nice. The same (ray skin) on the tsuka is real amd provides a great grip. This is a great little house sword.

Beautiful wakizashi! Light weight, wide blade, gorgeous hamon. Interesting wide Saya. Very different from other wakizashi that I have. I love it!

Really nice craftsmanship. Overall, excellent design. I am pleased with my sword. I bought another sword and waiting for it to arrive. I can recommend it to friends or family.

I wanted an “ understated” Wakizashi style sword to match a Tonto with Damascus blade.
This sword exceeds my expectations. I will bring the edge to the sharpness level required.
So far, I am very happy with this sword.

Minus a star for poor sheath retention which I fixed with a thin layer of wood glue.

Good blade and handle quality otherwise.
