I've ordered 6 swords from Truekatana. This picture represents a Chinese Straight Sword and Chinese Broadsword I purchsed. I'm not a metalurgist, forgemaster or swordmaster. I learned a little Shao lin and wu shu broadsword in my youth, but that's about it. All that said these swords are truly functional, beautifully balanced and of exquisite workmanship. Besides being weapons they are beautiful works of art. I like to collect swords of all types and these two are among the most expensive I've bought, both being in the $1000 range. They are also, by far, the nicest.
I've also bought two katanas and two wakizashi. Though I did not venture into the same price range, they are truly viable weapons and beautiful art pieces.
Truekatana has truly exceptional pieces, fully functional as well as beautiful to behold. They are worth every penny and if you wait for a sale you will likely find something you like at a better than fair price.

The sword arrived as scheduled, which was pretty darn fast. The boxing, padding, and Styrofoam kept everything snug for shipping. No dings or marring on any pieces.

As for the sword itself, it's a well balanced, sharp, and overall aesthetically pleasing to look at. Absolutely gorgeous!

I was somewhat baffled by the accompanying literature of do's and don't's. It cautioned to not take the katana apart. That was one of the things that I was looking forward to with my first real katana. I've owned a ninjato and currently have a cheaper non full tang katana that's glued together, which I can't take apart. Be that as it may, I am still extremely pleased with the katana.

The sword came as advertised but the sword was hard to get out of the Scabbard it was pretty tight.

First time buyer and I thought this wakizashi was worth every penny. Super sharp and stylish, balanced well and comfortable to hold with 2 hands or 1 hand. Will buy again from them!!

It's a little bigger than what zatoichi fans should expect, but that was my fault for not knowing how big the listed length is (I'm 5'6) the quality is pretty darn good. The habaki is a little tight in koiguchi but that's expected of a shikomizue (to be used as a cane) I will definitely be purchasing from trukatana in future. Budget and sturdy quality stuff.
