Customer Reviews
Super cool sword. Feels relatively sturdy. The fittings were a little messy, I had to file off some excess material but the blade is beautiful. I would say it's a pretty sword with good display value and it makes for some fun if you did want to cut softer objects with it. Although they have a long list of don't do's that's come with the blade. All in all I think the sword is well worth the price. The team is friendly and responds quickly. The shipping was quick as well.

My third purchase from TrueKatana, and I'm every bit as happy with it as the other two. Everything is perfect: the Balance, the edge, the aesthetics. This was my first wakizashi. I'll be shopping for more later.
