Exactly as ordered, no wobble or looseness anywhere. Sharp right out of the box. Saya has a friction fit and I worry it may wear out but aside from that small issue it is perfect.

I fell in love with my katana as soon as I saw and held it in my hands. I live in New Zealand so was expecting it to take awhile to arrive. But when it came in the mail within 7 days I was so happy . Would absolutely recommend buying from True katana . I will definitely be buying more from true katana. Thanks again

No buyers remorse for me. I got what I wanted at a price that I could afford. A beautiful work of art and just as dangerous as it is pretty to look at. Thank you for the privilege of doing business with you True Katana.

The swords are beautifully designed, crafted with attention to detail, and combine form with function. Shipping was very quick (9 days), and packed appropriately for distance and handling. The Hamon of the blades reflect the years of art and service to the legacy of the warrior. I am impressed.

I purchased 5 katana from 5 separate stores. This one had higher quality and tracking than all the others. The balance was good. The sword stays appropriately in the saya/sheath when turned upside down, and there is no rattle in the saya when you gently shake it.
The sword was able to handle tameshigiri on tatami goza without incident for a 1/4 sized, 1/2 sized, and full-sized roll. Other katana started to chip at the blade, had pulls in the tatami on their cuts, or simply couldn't properly slice.
The only downside is all others came with a bag, and this one did not, but as it is the one that will continue to be used, it is not much of a downside.

About 2 years ago I purchased my first katana ever from this site and I couldn’t have been more excited. I had settled upon a shirasaya katana with a nice plain wood look for around $250-$300 US. It was a nice katana made from T10 Carbon steel, but it obviously was going to have its imperfections for the price. It served me well and was a great beginner katana. This time however, I wanted something a bit higher quality and with full fittings. When you look at the two blades, it is a night and day difference. Don’t get me wrong they are both magnificent looking blades, but there are basically no faults with the new blade. The hamon itself is absolutely hypnotic and of hard not to just stare at. Not only that but the sword came in a box with a protective bag that you can keep as well. The amount of craftsmanship that went into this blade compared to the other is clear. The best part was they gave me a coupon for 25% off. I could not resist buying this and I hope this blade lasts generations beyond me so I will be taking great care of it. Well worth the paying more and they gave shipping info and updates the whole way here.

Everything on the Katana was tight, Ito wrap, the fittings, tsuba, habaki. The blade does NOT wable. Heavy duty T10, for ridged durability, and a shape and elegant taper for the blade profile. Made for an excellent bamboo cutting sword.
The blade after cutting bamboo after bamboo, (28 stalks) had preformed above my expectations. It showed no signs of chipping, wearing, or anything that would affect the blade and make it go to failure.
It was right out of the box sharp and choji oiled.
I highly recommend this katana, a very skilled craftsman had assembled and forged this T10 blade. The Hamon is absolutely perfect and authentic.
Despite the reviews on Reddit, I was a little weary of dropping that cash on a sword like this, but it is for sure worth it.
I only hope that every katana on this site is assembled, forged with such skill and pride. For a Chinese sword made with Japanese traditional smithing, I can safely say that the katana you might be looking at is worth it.
They have excellent customer service.

Sword over all is great quality for the price. Super sharp, beautifully crafted.
However the saya (sheath) is much brighter than it looks on the site, almost like glitter. I was expecting a more forest green.
All in all very satisfied.

I could not be more pleased with my order of the pictured katana. First, the packaging was very well done. Order arrived in a styrofoam box wrapped in water proof yellow tape. Inside, the blade was in its scabbard (saya) which was in a clear plastic wrap for protection. Upon removing the blade, I found it inside of an oiled tubular plastic wrap for corrosion protection. Second, the scabbard had a beautiful, consistent coloration and was made of hardwood with gold fittings - classy. Third the blade - 5/16" thick at the crossguard (tsuba) tapering to 3/16" at the tip. The differential heat treating line was stunning. The blade was very sharp and the handle was also covered in clear plastic wrap for protection. What a great value - I will definitely be a repeat customer!

I don't have a pic of the sword only a video but I do have a pic of what it did to my thumb when I dropped it and reached for it mid-fall. The sword obviously came super sharp, it looked just like the pictures on the website. It cuts good (not just fingers) so please be careful. Cuts bamboo like butter. It's definitely carbon steel not stainless. The weight is good not too heavy but with enough heft it'll swing good. The hamon is beautiful, the saya feels good and durable. I've bought swords for about $200 that weren't anywhere near the quality of this sword. I got it on discount from the website, TrueKatana also upped the discount after it sat in my cart for a week so I couldn't pass it up at that point. Took about 7 days to get it even from outside the US. The only issue I've found is it needs two mekugi (pegs through the handle and tang) instead of just one. I got it for use not for show so two would've been preferable for rigidity. Also if you plan on sharpening you need the right stones to polish or it will scratch the blade. I felt good with my purchase, definitely got my money's worth. I will get another as soon as possible. Also I'm giving 5 stars because this is the first one I've bought at this price range and with only one thing I considered a con (the single mekugi) I have no reason to not give a full 5 star rating. I hope this helps anyone considering making a purchase.

The Katana is Absolutely Beautiful. Masterfully made. The Blade is Razor Sharp and the design from the folding and clay is Magnificent. This is Exactly what I've been wanting. I was hoping the Sword Master who built this for me would have engraved his name like I requested. Thank you for forgeing such a Beautiful Katana for me

This was a gift for my partner. He always wanted a sword since he was a child. When he opened up his gift and saw his beautiful forest green katana he jumped for joy! He was stunned at the craftsmanship and marveled at how exquisite the blade was made. I would definitely purchase another sword. I made a great choice by choosing True Katana! Amazing company with AMAZING array of swords to choose from!
