Product Description
Own this sword and become the emperor of your domain! This Black Emperor Katana offers a 26 1/2" black-coated carbon steel blade that is false edged. The imitation ray skin handle features black nylon cord wrapping and black-coated zinc aluminum fittings. The black scabbard coordinates with matching black cord wrapping. Measures 38 1/2" overall.
I was impressed with the quality of this sword for the price. It does not come sharp, which is not a downside if you want it for decoration or solo practice. It is pointy, so just a word of caution there. The scabbard is plastic, but is not bad looking. I did not have any manufacturing or cosmetic issues with mine and its fittings are not loose. All in all perfect for display or single practice.

Good Value
Can't beat the price. You will not be getting a live blade here - don't expect it to hold up against a quality sword. And it does not have an edge on it at all. I spent a few hours grinding it and was able to hone it to the point where it's respectable.
Not particularly well-balanced, but has a good heft to it, and feels solid enough.

I've bought a few things from you guys. My first order was for our grandson's 14th birthday present. He wasn't expecting anything like the Katana sword we got for him. We were so pleased to see his face as he pulled it from the box. He even gave a little jumping up & down with excitement. His older brother let him know it was a real Katana sword. Seeing he was a little envious, I made our second order for him, another Katana sword. I'm sure this one will be equally beautiful as the first. Your prices were unbelievable. Very glad to find you guys. I'm sure I will be ordering more items from you. Thanks.

Good sword
Good length and weight, the only issue I have is that it was slightly bent the left. I'm not sure if it's meant to be sharpened, but it wasn't and I'm fine with that.

I got a buy one get one free email for trueswords as I have been a long time account holder for years. I decided that is is the time to make my first purchase. I bought the black emperor katana with sheath and got a purple emperor katana with sheath for free. It was a buy one and get the second one free at equal or lesser value. I decided to get two. One for me and one for my wife. I ordered Thursday and it was delivered the next Wednesday. Very good service. The swords were 30 dollars so of course they aren't going to be live katanas. I took them out the box and they looked good. Not excellent but for 30 dollars they were good. It says ON THE BLADE "Tomahawk XLR 1544 Carbon Steel Handcrafted in China". The tsuba is metal and the tsuka is wood with fake ray skin and it's nylon cord. Nice display piece. Blade is not entirely straight and is unsharpened. Overall nice wall hanger, bad weapon. As expected for 30 dollars.
