Well, I ordered this beautiful Wakizashi together with a expensive Katana for my dad, and the 2 Swords arrives today. r
About this brown Wakizashi: As it was stated to have a 26cm Tsuka, and as seen on the website to have a Bohi on the Blade... I ordered it. All in all, the Wakizashi has been looking awesome in pictures.r
r
Today it arrived, and unfortunately, the Tsuka was only 21cm long, and the Blade didn't have a Bohi (Blood Groove).r
r
I ordered from Austria, I had to wait quite some time and was very unsatisfied with the short Tsuka and Blade without the Bohi. Yet, I was very surprised, by how kind, service-orientated and extra-ordinary-professional these guys handled it.r
r
The swords looks awesome, but still, I was dissatisfied, so they offered me some ammount of refund which honestly, arrived a couple of hours ago. I am quite happy with this solution and still, the Swords are pretty decent, feel like quality-items and the team handled this very fast. The Katana is absolute awesome... so thank you a lot !

Handmade Wakizashi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Brown Scabbard

I am a practitioner of Iaido. This is normally done with a sword that is blunt. I did want something with a live edge. I am happy with the quality of the build. I purchased these two items and I actually had the smaller one customized to match the bigger one. I appreciate their communication and it was easy to have the discussion about what needed to be done. I was constantly updated and in contact with them. They were pleasant in their conversation, everything happened at an expedient and I am happy to say that I am pleased with my purchase.

Handmade Japanese Wakizashi Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard

This is the second unit I purchased from TK ....the
sword is very hard to remove from the saya. The brass
fitting, once it goes into the saya, it becomes almost
imposible to remove without using a screwdriver and excert some torque to it.
Can you send me a UPS label to return and have it replaced..???
Thanks

Fantastic quality and great customer service. After placing an order for this Wakizashi, I stumbled across a different model that called my name. A quick email to truekatana support asking for a swap was met with a quick reply and assurance that my 2nd choice would be shipped. When it arrived, I held my breath and was delighted to lay eyes on the model that I wanted. The quality of the blade, tsuka, tsuba, pommel, scabbard is amazing, very impressed. If you are in the market for a katana, wakizashi, tanto, or any blade then you need to browse and choose what speaks to you, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

For the price this is a great wakazashi. Sharp, the dragonfly them is awesome, the saya (scabbard) made of rosewood is very nice. The same (ray skin) on the tsuka is real amd provides a great grip. This is a great little house sword.

First, I was surprised at how fast it came, less than a week. The wood is rich in color, very smooth, excellent quality. The steel is a little thicker than some of my katanas, but its excellent steel, forged very well with an obvious harmon, very sharp. An excellent wakizashi, especially at this price point.

I have to admit that I'm impressed. Quality blade. Although, I haven't given it a practical test yet.
I will be trying 4 tatami over the coming weekend.

This is the wakizashi to pair with the brown katana. Both are amazing! Beautiful hamon on a T10 blade with that gorgeous leather wrapped saya.

Handmade Japanese Wakizashi Sword T10 Carbon Steel With Black Scabbard

My wakizashi was exactly what I ordered and expected, and arrived in good condition and in a timely manner. Thank you for that. My only complaint is that a left-handed saya does not appear to be available. One added note is that I very much enjoyed the enclosed instruction and warnings sheet. I realize that those "Do Not . . ." are probably based on some person actually acting that stupid, and are therefore needed for liability purposes; but wow, some are rather unbelievable!

Thank you; I'll be ordering a tanto in the future.

Amazing piece of work, will appreciate for a long time.

Handmade Wakizashi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Brown Scabbard

Ordered this wakizashi. It arrived in about two weeks, looking identical to the way it looked on the website. Appears to be a quality item. It is nicely balanced, sharp, nice weight for single handed use ... overall, it makes me want to go find something in the yard that needs a ceremonial chopping. I'm upbeat that i'll probably still have all my digits at the end of this year.
Oh, and the fittings are genuine and look awesome.

Handmade Shirasaya Wakizashi Sword Real Hamon Without Tsuba With Natural Scabbard

The wakazoshi seems pretty well made. Blade is incredibly sharp and aesthetically it is a beautiful piece. I have 2 grips with it. 1. The Kashira is loose already. Which means if it’s used as intended the tsuka ito will become loose and unwrap. 2. I wish they offered a real ray or shark skin Ho cover. Other than that for the price it is perfect. That is the only reason I did not give 5 stars. For most this would be perfect for display.

Beautiful red wood finish. Smooth from the handle of the wakizashi through to saya with tight alignment and a nice crisp lock closure. Well designed and looks great.

Professional in every way , communication, shipping. Customer service. Products as shown. High quality items .

Handmade Shirasaya Wakizashi Swords Without Tsuba With Rosewood Scabbard

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
