Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Katana Sword Damascus Steel Without Tsuba |
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

Handmade Japanese Aikuchi Tanto Sword 1045 Carbon Steel |
Sword came earlier than expected. Razor sharp, and it was as advertised. The only knock I can give it is that it was slightly bent toward the top.

Blade is nice, but not very sharp. The sheath part (forgot what it’s called) is poor quality, and it leaves chips of wood on the blade when pulling it out

Handmade Japanese Shikomizue Sword, Bamboo Style Chokuto Without Tsuba |
This one is a great find. Beautiful build quality and also very affordable. It caught my eye emediately on the website, ordered it and when it arrived in almost less than a week I was not disappointed. The weight of it is awesome, really feels strong in hand. The sleek simple bamboo design is top notch also . This sword took me back to my days in Okinawa, Japan thanks True Katana! When it arrived there was a couple cracks in my scabbard causing it to release a little loosely but I addressed it with TrueKatana Customer service and they sent me a new scabbard free of charge! Best customer service ever! Sent an email with a couple pictures and Fiona responded promptly within 24 hrs. Very pleased with the TrueKatana brand so far! Looking forward to my next purchase. THANKS!!

Handmade Japanese Shikomizue Sword, Bamboo Style Chokuto Without Tsuba |
The order arrived quickly. The weapon was beautiful. The scabbard holds the sword without slipping and the weight is just right. There was no rattle between the blade and the handle. I'm new to katana training, but even with my poor skill, I easily sliced through a water bottle. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Handmade Japanese Blind Fury Zatoichi Stick Sword Spring Steel |
Beautiful sword. Love it. The only complaint I have is it doesn’t like lock it self into the scabbard it easily falls out. But with it always being on display I should have to worry it’s just the thought it could fall out at anytime was kinda concerning for a minute but overall it was what I wanted.

Handmade Japanese Shikomizue Sword, Bamboo Style Chokuto Without Tsuba |
I got it on sale but some issues may indicate why it was on sale.
Cons:
Blade was bent and wavy ( not straight)
the grinds were a little heavy on some places showing little hot spots.
The Hamon was very prominent in photos but very faint in person.
Pros:
Blade is very sharp and although faint, the Hamon looks much better than a fake hamon.
Woodworking (and wood) vas very nice
Fitting was very nice and tight (handle ,and sword to sheath)
Overall it's ok for the "sale" price, but as is I would not pay full price again for the same piece that I recieved.
I am reviewing only 1 piece and this does not reflect True Katana's Overall product .
Thanks
