i have never used truekatana before and i am quite satisfied with 2 tanto purchases i made from there. first off, was packed well and was protected coming to this country. the shirasaya tanto is beautiful and is very sharp-cant wait to test cut with it. As a true gamble i ordered a higher end more ornamental tanto and was in disbelief as i saw that the blade is probably the sharpest of any blade i have. I cant wait to test. i have no doubt both tantos are properly pegged, functional, and will perform! if i have one complaint its that everything should come with its respective swordbag. I will order from truekatana again for sure.

Handmade Japanese Aikuchi Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
The tanto was beautiful exotic wood grain looks and feels great was a little loose in the scabard but used the old samurai wax trick and now it's good I'm not sure what the wood is maybe tiger wood but is super attractive and with a couple of coats of oil it is amazing blade is razor sharp I've already ordered some other pieces from true katana as there selection and unique designs are very cool and the pricing is good something for everyone at different price points I'm glad I stumbled onto true katana as for shipping this item took about a week

They are Christmas gifts and are not open yet so I cannot rate the katana. I did enjoy the fast shipping.

Love the tanto, it is well made and looks great. It is not super razor sharp, but it definitely is sharp, which is great. Well packed and shipped and in good time, and with the discount was a good price. Thank you!

Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel Real Hamon |
An exquisite craftmanship, very sturdy, genuine materials and really beautiful.
Only one point of disappointment, and it is a major one for me;
like written in your description of this Tanto :
- "razors edge sharp"
- "battle-ready swords"
- "built for cutting" (?!)
- "extremely sharp hand honed edge".
I am afraid it is not true.
I own a Katana with those qualities and this Tanto is not near
to cut something at all. It is even dull at some points to say the truth.
....but 4 stars anyway because it is awesome for display.

Really excellent quality. Especially considering the price. I wouldn’t describe it as especially sharp, but that takes hours and would Jack the price up.
I like it.

Fast delivery and appropriate quality, but I thought the handle and sheath were wood. My mistake.

Seems the metal is very good quality. The furniture is a good quality. The size of the Tonto is a little large, more like an O Tanto. Still that’s a minor point. It’s a great blade.

The package arrived in good shape and a few days earlier than expected.
The Shirasaya Tanto TK-JZ-KT-L190016 shortsword appears to be well made and of good quality. I will put a final edge on the blade and polish up the brass fittings to bring it to it ‘s full potential . I am very satisfied.
