This was first purchase from

"This was first purchase from trueswords and all i have to say is AWESOME. Nice weight, good blade length, excellent grip, cool sheath although blue is more my color, excellent material, Superb cutting. I have no doubt that this blade is as close as one can get to being unbreakable. My only minor criticism is the design of the guard. Its a cool design however if you're a swordsman who keeps hand close in contact with the guard, you may get uncomfortable rubbing/irritation. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING: I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. THE BLADE WHILE NOT SHARP TO THE TOUCH, THE CUTTING EDGE IS EXTREMELY THIN AND THE TIP IS VERY POINTED. IF SOMEONE WERE TO JUST DROP THE SWORD, POINTED END DOWN, AT LEAST 1/2 AN INCH FROM ONE'S FOOT, THE SWORD WOULD PROBABLY IMPALE THE FOOT DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE SWORD. ALSO DON'T TRY HOLDING THE SWORD BY THE BLADE BECAUSE ONE MINOR SLIP AND YOU'LL HAVE A DEEP CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, TOTALLY AWESOME. I would strongly recommend this sword to any first time sword buyers. Thanks TRUESWORDS."

Was skeptical about buying a

"Was skeptical about buying a katana at this price but saw great reviews about this on other sites so bought it and have absolutely no regrets. It feels substantial and balanced in my hands and came sharp and well oiled with nicely done intricacies. Gorgeous quality saya came wrapped in black cloth with numbered certificate also. Reviewed quality of 1060 blade and am certain for personal protection this will be more than sufficient if ever needed. Great for wall display also. Packed well by trueswords and fast delivery. Will be buying more soon. Thanks."

This sword is absolutely beautiful,

"This sword is absolutely beautiful, especially considering the price. - The says (scabbard/sheath) has a beautiful gloss finish, and you clearly can see the subtle patterns in the wood. - The ito (wrap on the handle) is soft and tight, and it feels great in your hands. - The blade is spectacularly crafted for the price, with a true non-machined hamon (edge of the blade). This blade easily slipped through a sheet of paper with very little force. - The sword is very well-balanced, and is not top-heavy like some of my other swords. If you are considering buying a $60 sword, I'd strongly recommend grabbing this model instead. I love my lower-priced Musashi/Musha blades as well, but this one is a clear step up and well worth the extra cost. This sword is an incredible value. I also feel I should thank TrueSwords for making this product available at a great price, so thanks!"

This is my first purchase

"This is my first purchase from True Swords and just received this a few hours ago and i have to say it was everything i was hoping for and more! It came sharp, it looks amazing, and it's perfect for display or practice. Of course don't expect to cut through anything stellar just things you would normally cut with a katana or any other sword in this price range. Everything i wanted and a lot extra, and it got here a day earlier than i expected! Go True Swords, you've gained another loyal customer!"

I just emailed trueswords.com thanking

"I just emailed trueswords.com thanking them for a wonderful product at a low price.The saya is beautiful, the sageo was tight, the ito was tight, nothing was loose, the hamon was true like the site said, as far as the edge....paper slicing sharp. I have yet to break it down but so far this sword is a STEAL for under 100 bucks. I have to comment on the little details the ray skin...love it....the wood grain still noticable....the bamboo in the iron all very beautiful. Love this sword."

Beautiful Sword for a ridiculously

"Beautiful Sword for a ridiculously low price. The wood grain can be seen through the red finish on the saya which is a nice touch but also shows some knots in the wood. The brass fittings and iron tsuba are excellent quality for the price and the polish is reasonably even. The ito maki is very tight and even alternates, something I've only seen in one other Chinese reproduction katana. The sword is a little too light for Iaido practice but cuts very nicely. However, it took a set the first time I tried to cut with it. I was able to bend it back to almost straight. There are better low end swords out there but for this price and with a natural hamon, any sword enthusiast should own one. Thank you, True Swords. :-)"

I ordered this mostly as

"I ordered this mostly as "a wall piece that i could have fun with" it that's what i got. When i took it out of the box EVERYONE in my house instantly wanted to (can you believe it) touch the edge. Luckily no one got cut but I'm dissapointed with that. The "paper test" reviled that while the blade was really sharp, it wasn't exactly razer sharp. That and the hand guard not being easy to remove were the only things i was dissapointed with. The blade is nice and thick, there are no visible flaws (to me) and the hilt feels nice and tight, even after I took it off and put it back on. Very sturdy build. Gread attention to detail and affordable. This blade is a great buy and i recommend it, just know that swords aren't meant to be best quality when sold under $100."
