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.

What a beautiful piece, the Saya fits snug with no rattle and the blade was oiled and in perfect shape! I’ve been having a Zatoichi marathon since it came! I foolishly read into some bad reviews because the shipping confirmation never updated. I contacted them via email and Fiona was quick to reply and follow up with UPS. Not sure what she told UPS, maybe she threatened them with a katana because they got the lead out and it arrived to NC in less than a week! Thank you so much, I love it!

Is a great sword.
Got drunk buzzed one knight and watched Kill Bill, specifically one with the Chinese Jap-American girl as the antagonist in the Chapter, wanted to buy a sword like hers; ended up doing that the next day and waited awhile.

Got it and I’m not disappointed; has a good weight and feel to it, the sheath is beautiful, and not only that the blade is pseudo-sharp. If you want it to be sharp, you’ll have to do it yourself or get it professionally sharpened, which is understandable, because if you’re committed to it, you wouldn’t mind sharpening it.

Just remember to buy Sword Oil for it, protection from corrosion is PARAMOUNT.

Sword is solid and well put together, but the last 2 inches has a slight curve to the right when looking from the spine. Compared to the other 2 katanas I own it's noticeably heftier, but that doesn't mean much to me. The saya and handle are nice in my opinion and the entire thing feels pretty sturdy. The only issue is with the blade itself, but thats also the heart of a sword so even if its slight it's still noticeable

Sturdy, no chips or rust and doesn't wiggle at all at the hilt. Feels very sturdy and secure

I absolutely love the sword. It feels great to hold. My only issue is the the scabbard is slightly curved, so its hard for the sword to be pulled out.

It would get a full 5. However the blade rattled slightly when locked. Can’t be a Ninja with that much noise lol.

It is however beautifully made and sharp. I will need to order another at some point.

The sword is great but the scabbard was cracked and later turned into a hole
