The Jian is an elegant double-edged straight sword with a history in China going back 2,500 years. Originally made from bronze, there are perfectly preserved examples of great beauty in museums. The design was adapted as the advancement in steel and metal technology went forward. There have been various styles of Jian from the different periods and dynasties, all having the characteristics of a double edged, elongated blade. Chinese sword versions are replications of Jian using traditional hand forging methods, all solidly put together by expert hands, ready for real use.
Blown away. Super fast shipping. Great quality katana. Can’t wait to give this to my husband for his birthday!

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.

Beautiful and wonderfully crafted piece. I got it for my husbands birthday and he loved it. Highly recommend this to anyone that is a michonne fan. Looks just like the one she carried but a lot cleaner.😊

Love the design, looks great. Edge was very dull though and I had to sharpen it myself.

Very nice and well made. The sword stays in its wooden sheath until you pull it out. This was a concern for me as
I had ordered the same style sword from another company and the wood was bass wood. It’s a soft wood, the sword falls out of its wooden sheath on its own!!
So I was quite impressed with the construction of this sword from True Katana. It was exactly what I was looking for.
