I don't have a pic of the sword only a video but I do have a pic of what it did to my thumb when I dropped it and reached for it mid-fall. The sword obviously came super sharp, it looked just like the pictures on the website. It cuts good (not just fingers) so please be careful. Cuts bamboo like butter. It's definitely carbon steel not stainless. The weight is good not too heavy but with enough heft it'll swing good. The hamon is beautiful, the saya feels good and durable. I've bought swords for about $200 that weren't anywhere near the quality of this sword. I got it on discount from the website, TrueKatana also upped the discount after it sat in my cart for a week so I couldn't pass it up at that point. Took about 7 days to get it even from outside the US. The only issue I've found is it needs two mekugi (pegs through the handle and tang) instead of just one. I got it for use not for show so two would've been preferable for rigidity. Also if you plan on sharpening you need the right stones to polish or it will scratch the blade. I felt good with my purchase, definitely got my money's worth. I will get another as soon as possible. Also I'm giving 5 stars because this is the first one I've bought at this price range and with only one thing I considered a con (the single mekugi) I have no reason to not give a full 5 star rating. I hope this helps anyone considering making a purchase.

High-performance Japanese Katana Sword Primary Tamahagane Steel

This sword is absolutely quality. It is razor sharp. It is beautiful. And I should have gotten a stand for it. The handle is nice and firm. The blade is straight. The Ray skin is nice and real. The sheath is quality and the finish is beautiful. I just wish they didn't wrap the blade in plastic. It leaves marks on the blade because it wrinkles and leaves air pockets and makes the blade oxidize there.

Love the design, looks great. Edge was very dull though and I had to sharpen it myself.

First purchase from TrueKatana and very pleased. Beautiful, well-crafted blade. Love the simplicity of the wenge wood. Already thinking about purchasing the Tanto sword to match. Arrived very quickly, and packaging had it well protected.

Good weight and a razor sharp blade! My only complaints are about the guard and the metal just below the guard dig into the hand/finger when in use.

This is honestly the best experience I could have asked for. It came fast and was shipped in perfect condition. On top of that, it somehow looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. The only downside (and this is very minor) is that it doesn’t come with a stand. Overall this is a great sword for a great price. Thanks!
