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

Handmade Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon |
The ito is semi-tight. The blade itself is very well done. Habaki is nicely done. The kahira and fuchi are very plain nothing special but the do their job. Sageo is definitely one of the nicer ones i have seen for a blade of this price.The Tsuba design is nice and the saya has a really cool design. Overall a nice collectors piece. I am happy with the selection.

Handmade Short Japanese 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.

High-performance Japanese Shirasaya Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel |
The sword has a silver scabbard and hand guard. That's not what I ordered, I wanted the white one. Also the last 3 inches of the blade at the hilt was dull. Beyond that the blade is fairly sharp. For what I paid I guess this is what I get. Retuning it won't work as I'm disabled. Just know that I'll be going elsewhere to make future purchases. Thanks.

You get what you pay for!
Exactly as described.
Handle is on the cheap side but I probably only payed for the blade anyway!

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard |
I’m no sword expert but my boyfriend is really into Japanese samurai so I brought this for his Christmas present. As far as I can tell the quality is amazing, beautifully patterned Damascus, sharp even edges and a good solid feel. The blade was oiled for protection and all the details are beautiful. It was thoroughly packaged for protection and delivery to Australia was quick. I personally had no issues with delivery or customs. Thank you so much for the beautiful knife!

Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Tanto Sword Damascus Steel |
Very pleased with the Tanto; the Fitment and workmanship is excellent!
There are only minor 2 niggles...
There several small black spots on the silver tsuba (possibly paint , as
I could not feel an edge to the dots, which I would have felt if the plating was failing).
the second niggle...it is kinda sharp, but should have been sharper...
Minor, in my opinion...The Hamon is beautiful, The blade is well polished, and
the overall feel and balance is very good...
Will purchase from TrueKatana again.

Handmade Japanese Short Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon With White Scabbard |
Hate to give such a low star but, in the description it said sharpened edge and it was far from it... It has a very nice feel in the hand and has a very attractive blade. Both the Sageo and the tsuka are very nicely finished and fit well together. I understand for the price point it will not be perfect but if it says sharpened edge in the description the edge should be sharpened.
