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'm manly giving 4 stars on this Katana for one reson!! The blade unlike last two has a very slight curve, in about 3" for same distance from tip it curves in only about 1/16th possably 3/64th out on only 3 " so not anything major! A love my other perchased of the cane Katana which os very nice. I did make it look like a real walking cane as per last review! r
But this one, I also don't like the rubber clad Tsaba, so covered that and the shiny Kashira to bright / shiny and flashy of me. So that is covers to.also Tsuba has weak spots because of thinness to outside edge too.r
Not sure if Blade very slight curve is because this blade is a second or not.r
It has done me no good trying to contact seller 6 plus times, as I have never received a response! Even for a simple question. Decent buy for the money though!!r
As stated in other reviews ( you get what you pay for) mist of the time..r
Good price/ functional sword..

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!

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.

I have to admit that I'm impressed. Quality blade. Although, I haven't given it a practical test yet.
I will be trying 4 tatami over the coming weekend.

first sword I've bought, I really love the craftsmanship of the weapon, definitely will be buying more swords from this website.

I originally bought this sword solely for the saya and planned on selling the sword. However, I ended up liking this sword way more than I expected so I decided to keep it. Shipping only took about a week so that was great. The sword I received was exactly as pictured. From what I can tell, the sword/saya is of great quality for the price and is well assembled. Super shard blade, excellent grip on the handle and nothing feels loose like it's about to fall apart. The grip on the handle is the main reason I kept the sword as it feels so comfortable in the hands and gives you a really firm, secure grip. My only complaint, as others have previously mentioned, is that the handle is slightly offset from the blade. Not a huge deal for me but definitely worth mentioning. The saya is excellent as well. I was looking for a saya with a matte black finish and this one definitely checked the box. I really wish some of these companies would stop advertising these swords as battle ready when they obviously aren't. There was a little paper booklet that came with the sword informing you of all the things you shouldn't do with the sword. I had a laugh at some of them such as "Don't lick the sword" or "Don't put the sword in your mouth". They obviously have to include this for legal reasons but most of it is just common sense lol. The only thing it said you should use the sword for is pretty much display, which contradicts what is stated in the description on the website. I bought this fully aware that this isn't a battle ready sword knowing I would only ever use it for display. If you wanted a battle ready sword, you would be paying $500 minimum likely much more than that. Could you use this sword to defend yourself if it came down it? Absolutely. It could definitely save your life. But I would never trust this sword with my life out on the battlefield knowing full well that it will most likely fail and break. I just wanted to bring this to light so any first time sword buyers know exactly what they are paying for and that swords in this price range are not battle ready. I just wish some of these companies could be more honest and upfront about what their swords can and cannot do. With all that being said, I still do like this sword very much and I can definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested. Just be aware of the limitations of swords in this price range.

I received the sword a day before the delivery date. The sword is really solid. No loose parts and sharp. I will be order from Truekatama again.

This is the first katana I have ever bought and understand this is in no way a battle ready or perfectly hand crafted weapon, but I do think there should be more attention to the finer details like the handle being offset from the blade. I also know this is not a traditional handle design for a katana and while it is off centered and slightly loose it feels amazing. Other than that, this thing is extremely sharp and near perfectly balanced. The tip did roll slightly, not 100% sure on what as I try not to hit hard things with this sword, but it's also $200. All in all 7/10 mainly because of the off-centered handle. I will definitely buy from here again. Fast shipping, and arrived in perfect condition.

Blade edge is quality. Scabbard is quality. Handguard looks great. This handle is metal tube with studded rubber overmolding. Really lets your palm dig into your grip point. Wooden peg meguki. Screw on cap as the pommel was a minor pet peeve… the handle wasn’t exactly centered precisely about 2-3 mils deviation but doesn’t affect my swing just an aesthetic flaw. Also the habaki wasn’t fitted properly so it moved around maybe 1-2 mils towards the spine/edge, and .5 mil horizontally. I fixed it by making shims from wood and wedging them between the habaki and blade. No more movement after that.

Amazing piece of work, will appreciate for a long time.

Ordered this wakizashi. It arrived in about two weeks, looking identical to the way it looked on the website. Appears to be a quality item. It is nicely balanced, sharp, nice weight for single handed use ... overall, it makes me want to go find something in the yard that needs a ceremonial chopping. I'm upbeat that i'll probably still have all my digits at the end of this year.
Oh, and the fittings are genuine and look awesome.

Very solid sword has a few scratches on the blade but other than that can’t complain.

Great wakizashi for the price. There a few quality issues, Ito wrap is a little loose and diamonds are misshapen. Fuchi is a little loose as well. Beautiful and blade and saya. Overall happy with this purchase.

Hardware and blade are beautiful. Only complaint is wrap on the grip is very loose and substandard poorly done. Aside from that I love it. Quality control department needs to watch for simple details like that. Hence the 4 star rating. I guess I expected better and no sword bag. Disappointed.
