Love the sword. The blade, Saya, and ito all have excellent craftsmanship. My only issue was that one of the fittings as well as the sageo wrap was loose. Other than that can not complain. Worth the money.

Have not tested it out, but out of the box it looks great, just like the pictures. Feels like excellent craftsmanship, the only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because there's about a 3 inch section of the blade that is not sharpened properly. Cuts paper decently well but when it hits the dull section it tears. Will have to touch it up on the wet stone. For the price it's a great katana especially if it's true t10 steel that's properly forged/hardened.

The ito wrap was kinda fuzzy and could have been more neatly wrapped, and one of the menuki's was in the wrong spot on the blade handle. The only other issue i have is the the plastic that was wrapped around the blade for shipping came off inside the saya before i took the blade out and is now stuck inside. I have no other issues.

I have purchased these three swords as samples to see if they would be a viable product line to offer in our businesses and martial art centers.

Here are my findings:

All three swords are aesthetically pleasing and the fittings are ornate. I feel these would be a pleasant addition to a display or collection or for a beginning practitioner.

For someone looking for a sword to practice or cut with regularly, the product we received may not be the best products. Here are some reasons for this.

Two of the three blades were noticeable sharpened on a belt grinder and the edge geometry was a bit inconsistent. 2 of the 3 passed a paper cut test.

The two "folded" blades (the katana and naginata) are not folded steel, even under magnification. We have also observed a few imperfections such as chipping, staining and rolled tips but those appear to only be cosmetic. While the folding is not critical with modern steel, the appearance it provides would help sell the product and was a reason we chose them. The unfolded T10 material would be functionally sufficient. Also note that the cost was higher for these "folded" versions.

The hamon on each blade was very light, though looks nice, does not carry the deep gray appearance despite the fine polish. I am concerned how sufficiently heat treated the edge may truly be.

The fitment of the habaki is fairly loose, only fitting the mune and ha properly.

The Tachi shares the same profile and curvature as the katana and is the same length despite being listed as a longer blade.

All three swords show some fitment issues where things are misaligned or roughly ground to fit. The koiguchi and shito-dome are prime examples of this on the naginata as they exhibit grinding or chisel marks of fitting the blade. The naginata Saya sticks at every insertion and retraction of the blade.

The tsuka profiles of each were a bit blocky and the tsuka-ito is fairly wide, adding bulk to the grip. Very much a factory made handle.

Each sword came with manual the states the blades should not be used for cutting. We were able to confirm with customer service that it was ok to perform tameshigiri with the blades. They expressed the manual was a meant to be more of a cautionary document than a disclaimer.

We completed testing the sample products. In short, they do cut but only ok. We performed 6 cuts with each blade on rolled tatami omote, mounted on a regulation stand, in a vertical fashion. The tatami was rolled tight with no center material such as bamboo to ensure consistency in each cut.

We observed some ha (edge) deformation and marks left on the hiraji and shinogi (angled blade body surface) but nothing substantial. This is likely due to the edge and blade geometry being fairly flat (vs more convex) and a maybe the blades not being heat treated as hard as they could be.

We also did notice the fuchi was loose on the katana after completing the cuts. This can be corrected easily but should not happen on a new blade.

For a newer practitioner, these swords would be fine.

I am a bit discouraged with the customer service when we provided similar feedback and asked about the katana and naginate not being folded. They were somewhat accusatory and reluctantly did provide an RMA stating that we could return the blades only if they were still in the original packaging and unused. In short, we opted not to return the swords due to the packaging being discarded and to continue our testing. Our intent is to keep these products as examples for our clients and students and to showcase features that may or may not be satisfactory.

For practitioners seeking a functional sword, there may be some value at investigating True Katana's performance line. My experience may not be inclusive to all their products but the customer service was disconcerting. I will recommend the hanwei product line before True Katana in the future.

The craftsmanship on this katana is awesome. I couldn’t be more pleased with the black blade. Very very sharp edge. Very good craftsmanship. Katana to scabbard is a perfect fit. I will definitely buy more products from true katana. I wish I could give six stars would recommend to anyone.

A true work of art that will be proudly used and displayed.

First ever katana not from china town, I love the craftsmanship and was surprised how fast it arrived

The one Katana was nice, the green one the other one (orange) looked a bit on the cheap side like a fake Katana. I collect Katanas and wanted to see what Truekatna had to offer. I'm sure many are not so fake looking and feeling but it seems to be taking a guess at it. I'm collect these swords and have for years, so I have a good ideal of what a nice one should look like even one that is inexpensive.

Came exactly as seen and described. I am very satisfied with the product, and for the price, it provides serious quality. The blade was oiled well, and the finish on everything looks great.

I like it a lot. Relatively cheap, but I’m happy with how solid it is. Nothing jiggles or rattles on it. The Damascus blade is a very nice touch. Came sharp but not crazy sharp, Probably a good thing.

Overall it’s a good blade but the fittings on the handle weren’t that tight. On closer inspection The blade was cheaply manufactured, but for display purposes and light use this would be a good sword to get.
