This Sokojikara Falcon Katana was hand-forged and carefully assembled by some of the greatest swordsmiths in the world. The blade is forged of 1045 and 1060 carbon steel that has been folded 11 times resulting in 4096 layers. The blade was then clay tempered to produce a true hamon line and an edge hardness of 58RC. But this isn't just a pretty display piece. this Sokojikara sword is a full-tang, battle-ready sword that has been double pegged to the hardwood handle to ensure it can withstand even the harshes cutting scenarios.

Wedding gift to new son-in-law

"This sword is very well made and arrived in 3 day standard shipping I was informed of it's shipping location the whole way the storage box it comes in is nice but it is a cardboard material and will probably not last over time but the sword is amazing great weight, sharp edge and assembled very well love it wanted a gift for new son-in-law to represent the passing of frontline protector to him and to have something to pass on to their children later and I'm very happy with it thank you so much to True Swords for allowing me to start a new family tradition"

More Than I Expected

no groove....

"Sad to see that the sword does not have a groove. This has lowered my satisfaction for the product."

I bought this sword a

"I bought this sword a while ago. I don't really do reviews right when I get something. I got the sword very quickly, and right out of the box, the sword wouldn't come apart. It took me over 2 hours to get the thing apart. And when I did, the tsuba wouldn't come off. But I called trueswords, and they offered to replace it with one that does no questions asked. I decided to stick with the one I had because I was determined to get this one to work for me. Eventually it came apart and it does so relatively easily now. The only true complaint I have about the sword is that the blade is really only sharpened on the upper foot maybe foot and a half. And it didn't come razor sharp as they claim. I had only owned it for a month or two and I was already looking for a sharpening service. Trueswords was awesome, and the sword was too, but the edge left something to be desired."

I have to say. This

"I have to say. This is an awesome sword. True swords shipped it out to me in 3 days. The sword had a beautiful box that came with it. I did a cut test with the sword with a V8 bottle and it sliced right threw. Thank you trueswords and i will totally shop on you website again."

I have bought several products

"I have bought several products from Trueswords and have been consistently pleased with their products. I bought this wanting something real and not just a display, and seeing the case and sword in all its beauty, I believe my jaw just dropped. This is definitely worth the money."

The White Falcon is a

"The White Falcon is a beauty to behold. First off, the White Falcon comes in a decorative case that not only acts as a nice display but functions very well to protect the katana. The katana itself is a sight to be seen. The nice clean white gives it a really unique look and feel. The balance of the sword is superb, it really allows one to use it with ease. Overall, I can say I am very satisfied with my purchase. True Swords shipped it out very fast and I will be more than happy to shop with them again."

Before purchasing this sword, I

"Before purchasing this sword, I was looking for something that was beautiful, functional as a cutter, traditional, and reasonably priced. I carefully researched my options and this seemed to be the best selection for under $250. This sword is truly beautiful without being garish. The wrappings and furniture are tight and solid. The sword itself is well balanced, but with some appreciable heft. I found that the beauty of the sword complimented its functionality and elicited a strong sense of respect. The sword feels secure and strong both during tameshigiri and kata. Even after several days of vigorous forms practice and cutting, everything remained firmly in place. I put this sword through several light test cuts involving water bottles. It simply scythed through them with very little detectable resistance. I also tested it against some tightly rolled rubber mats and rolled carpeting. Again, it performed reasonably well. There was some minor scuffing, but no significant dulling of the blade. When I received the sword it was sharp, but not razor sharp. A few minutes work with a wet stone and fine grained sand paper allowed me to establish the kind of edge I wanted. The new edge held up well to the practice cuts. I feel very confident this sword will hold up over time for medium cutting duty. I also suspect that this sword could handle heavy cutting duty, but would require more frequent maintenance/sharpening. My hope for this sword seems more or less justified. You can find better swords on this site, but they are all more expensive. I feel that this sword remains the best deals that I have seen. I am very pleased with it and with True Swords."

I need to start the

"I need to start the story about five years ago. I first discovered trueswords. I had some money to spare and I loved swords, so I bought one. I had too much fun with it and it broke. Buy, break, buy, break etc. I keep buying from this amazing site, and I have had so much joy from these weapons. Then I moved from swords to airsoft and trueswords had me covered again! Now I'm back to swords and I now know how to find the good ones, not sword shaped objects, like the first ones. This sword is by far the best sword I have ever seen, held, and bought. Thank you for listening to my story and trueswords, please, please never stop selling! Best website ever!"
