Exactly what I expected. Perfect craftsmanship and value. I have 7 swords from True Katana and only one showed up on bad shape. r
r
The customer service people are indifferent assholes who won't help when something is wrong; but if your order is perfect, cool! Pray for good results, you may need it.r
r
One bad result out of seven is only about a 14% chance you'll waste your money on flawed trash. That's good odds!r
r
Don't resist the 86% chance to buy a good sword. The bad service and bad quality control is the chance you'll have to take.

Love the Tanto. Nicely packaged. The blade is sharp and I like the way the blade was preserved in shipping with a light oil. Very happy with my purchase and will buy again.

I'm an early Iaido student 2nd year and I wanted a small tanto to complement the shinken.
I didn't want something too big like a Wakizashi but for a tanto it's on the longer side.
Depending on your hand size this is a single handed tsuka.
For really small hands you might be able to get both hands around the tsuka.
I like the red and black tint on the tsuka that's what attracted me.
It looks great and I feel like the craftsmenship on this blade is worth more than it's value.
Note: blade seemed to come in dry no choji oil appeared to be on the blade. So check to make sure.

not a weapons expert but i don't think the saya should be loose and it came with damage to it so bad you could see the wood underneath the design. idk, if it wasn't as decently sharp(ish) as it is i would think it's a toy

This was my first time ordering a sword from Truekatana. My sword came as described, well packaged and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. If in the future I purchase another sword I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Here's my honest opinion about this tanto.
If i'm not mistaking myself the describtion said "razor sharp". I don't know if that was typo because this was not close to that sharpness at all.
I'm 51 years old and I know a thing or two about sharpening blades., so this i can fix myself easily.
The fitting between the habaki and saya is under all criticism. It was so poorly made that if you tilted it the knife fell out. NOT very safe. Again this i fixed.
This was definately not made by an experienced craftman.
If i were you i had contacted whoever you choosen in China to sharpen up, or searched for another blackdmith
After all, this has to do with your reputation. I don't blame True katana. I blame the amateur that made my tanto.

This is a companion to the full size katana I purchased. I can’t say enough about how much I love the work these guys do. Expertly crafted and packaged with care. If it were biologically possible for True Katana to build my first child I would be all about it. I love you.

The Tanto Short Sword Katana is a very nice piece. The scabbard does feel a bit cheap in quality - almost like a strong pressed cardboard material. But it's certainly workable. The blade rattles inside of it, and "lock" very tightly in the scabbard. In other words, the sword could easily fall out of the scabbard if it is turned upside down. So, I can't give 5 stars. I do like the look of the piece though; and the sword itself feels like good quality.

The blade seems well made and using a leather strop I touched it up to razor sharpness. Shaves the hair off my arm easily. The advertisement said REAL JAPANESE, it did not say, copy of or re production of, but it is not a REAL JAPANESE TANTO . The box said made in China. That was disappointing. I wont be buying anymore items from you.
