I'm manly giving 4 stars on this Katana for one reson!! The blade unlike last two has a very slight curve, in about 3" for same distance from tip it curves in only about 1/16th possably 3/64th out on only 3 " so not anything major! A love my other perchased of the cane Katana which os very nice. I did make it look like a real walking cane as per last review!
But this one, I also don't like the rubber clad Tsaba, so covered that and the shiny Kashira to bright / shiny and flashy of me. So that is covers to.also Tsuba has weak spots because of thinness to outside edge too.
Not sure if Blade very slight curve is because this blade is a second or not.
It has done me no good trying to contact seller 6 plus times, as I have never received a response! Even for a simple question. Decent buy for the money though!!
As stated in other reviews ( you get what you pay for) mist of the time..
Good price/ functional sword..
first sword I've bought, I really love the craftsmanship of the weapon, definitely will be buying more swords from this website.
Great sword. fast shipping.
I originally bought this sword solely for the saya and planned on selling the sword. However, I ended up liking this sword way more than I expected so I decided to keep it. Shipping only took about a week so that was great. The sword I received was exactly as pictured. From what I can tell, the sword/saya is of great quality for the price and is well assembled. Super shard blade, excellent grip on the handle and nothing feels loose like it's about to fall apart. The grip on the handle is the main reason I kept the sword as it feels so comfortable in the hands and gives you a really firm, secure grip. My only complaint, as others have previously mentioned, is that the handle is slightly offset from the blade. Not a huge deal for me but definitely worth mentioning. The saya is excellent as well. I was looking for a saya with a matte black finish and this one definitely checked the box. I really wish some of these companies would stop advertising these swords as battle ready when they obviously aren't. There was a little paper booklet that came with the sword informing you of all the things you shouldn't do with the sword. I had a laugh at some of them such as "Don't lick the sword" or "Don't put the sword in your mouth". They obviously have to include this for legal reasons but most of it is just common sense lol. The only thing it said you should use the sword for is pretty much display, which contradicts what is stated in the description on the website. I bought this fully aware that this isn't a battle ready sword knowing I would only ever use it for display. If you wanted a battle ready sword, you would be paying $500 minimum likely much more than that. Could you use this sword to defend yourself if it came down it? Absolutely. It could definitely save your life. But I would never trust this sword with my life out on the battlefield knowing full well that it will most likely fail and break. I just wanted to bring this to light so any first time sword buyers know exactly what they are paying for and that swords in this price range are not battle ready. I just wish some of these companies could be more honest and upfront about what their swords can and cannot do. With all that being said, I still do like this sword very much and I can definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested. Just be aware of the limitations of swords in this price range.
I received the sword a day before the delivery date. The sword is really solid. No loose parts and sharp. I will be order from Truekatama again.
This is the first katana I have ever bought and understand this is in no way a battle ready or perfectly hand crafted weapon, but I do think there should be more attention to the finer details like the handle being offset from the blade. I also know this is not a traditional handle design for a katana and while it is off centered and slightly loose it feels amazing. Other than that, this thing is extremely sharp and near perfectly balanced. The tip did roll slightly, not 100% sure on what as I try not to hit hard things with this sword, but it's also $200. All in all 7/10 mainly because of the off-centered handle. I will definitely buy from here again. Fast shipping, and arrived in perfect condition.
This is my first Ninjato, and I am extremely happy to have received It from you guys before Christmas. The whole thing looks amazing and arrived in good condition, no scratches or any other impurities. Thank you! Money well spent!
Very solid sword has a few scratches on the blade but other than that can’t complain.
Love it
Yuh
Arrived on time and in great condition. Ty
Great quality sword 👌 my husband loves it!!
I love it so much I wanna order more in the future I highly recommend Grant it the adhesive they used for the hilt was loose but an easy fix when I received the product it was extremely hot because of the weather so overall perfect to me
Came just as long as expected, very sharp, very balanced, very cool. Will be buying from this company again!
I love the craftsmanship. Mostly I like the handle bcuz its similar to my batons
I enjoyed the overall design and look if the blade. I couldn't decide if I wanted a katana or ninjato blade but this one definitely was worth the purchase. Shipping did take some time but it was well worth the wait in my opinion.
Fast shipping but sent me the wrong sword. Said they would send out the correct and so far nothing. It was supposed to be a gift.
When my package arrived I was happier than ever. After I opened the package I was very impressed with the quality of the sword. From the sheath to the groove on the blade, I love everything about the sword.
This sword is incredible, I was very pleased with everything, the delivery time, quality and finish of the sword, it was 100% worth the money and will most likely be making another purchase from this website!
I absolutely love it I think you guys did a awsome job. Good for training and really sturdy steel. The sword is what people say is a tad heavy butbi dont mind it its great for control practice
