I've ordered 6 swords from Truekatana. This picture represents a Chinese Straight Sword and Chinese Broadsword I purchsed. I'm not a metalurgist, forgemaster or swordmaster. I learned a little Shao lin and wu shu broadsword in my youth, but that's about it. All that said these swords are truly functional, beautifully balanced and of exquisite workmanship. Besides being weapons they are beautiful works of art. I like to collect swords of all types and these two are among the most expensive I've bought, both being in the $1000 range. They are also, by far, the nicest.
I've also bought two katanas and two wakizashi. Though I did not venture into the same price range, they are truly viable weapons and beautiful art pieces.
Truekatana has truly exceptional pieces, fully functional as well as beautiful to behold. They are worth every penny and if you wait for a sale you will likely find something you like at a better than fair price.

Handmade Japanese Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Clay Tempered Blade

Sword came in ahead of expected schedule, and was fairly priced for the quality. The blade is sharp and weight is solid, the grip and sheath are a well built and decorated construction.

To whom it may concern,

I love my new Katana Sword ~ its beautiful..

However, I attempted to purchase a 2nd one and your system would not accept my visa debit card this time ~ your sales team said I had to use PayPal..

I will NEVER use PayPal again as I had a really bad experience with them a few years ago...

so basically, your sales team gave me no other option except to take my business elsewhere ~ which I did... too bad..
