Custom Katana Swords

From the katana sword and wakizashi to the tanto, Japanese swords come in many different styles and sizes. The katana is the most common and recognizable samurai sword. It has a curved blade, circular or squared tsuba, and a long, two-handed grip. The wakizashi is typically a shorter sword that, when worn with the katana, was the official sign of a samurai. Tantos are Japanese knives that could also be paired with a katana, in place of a wakizashi. 

Samurai swords and their different styles are unique recreations of history, hand forged into a work of art. If you’re ready to create your own custom made sword, browse our options today to learn more.
