For international shipping safety and compliance, our katanas are shipped unsharpened. If you wish to sharpen your blade, we recommend consulting a professional sword sharpener.

We offer a wide range of materials and traditional methods to suit every level of collector and practitioner.

Steel Types:

• 1045 Carbon Steel: Flexible and durable; the best choice for beginners.

• 1060 Carbon Steel: The ideal balance of strength and price for regular practice.

• 1095 High-Carbon Steel: Very hard; holds a fine edge and shows a beautiful natural Hamon.

• T10 Tool Steel: High-performance "super steel" with extreme edge retention and durability.

• Manganese Steel: Highly resilient and "springy," designed for heavy-duty impact.

Most of our modern Katanas are handcrafted in China, in a region that is world-renowned for its specialization in making high-quality, affordable swords. This allows us to offer functional, full-tang blades that maintain professional standards while remaining accessible to collectors and martial arts practitioners.
