Best Selection of Real Katanas

Real katanas are the traditional swords of Japan, and are a source of great pride for many Japanese people. These swords are made with a specific type of steel called tamahagane, which is developed through a complex process of folding and forging. This process creates a blade that is incredibly strong and resistant to wear. The shape of the katana is unique, with a curved blade and two sharp points. These swords are incredibly sharp, and were designed to be used in close-quarters combat. The sword is traditionally paired with a companion blade, known as the wakizashi. Together, these blades form the daisho, a symbol of power and prestige.

We’re known for our made-to-order pieces and huge selection. When you purchase a hand-forged katana sword from us, you are able to freely select the design of the ito (handle wrap), same’gawa (under wrap), saya (sheath), and sageo (sheath cord). You can even customize your sword color and design through our build your own katana option.

Carbon steel blades are the most common material used for crafting katana swords. As the name implies, carbon steel blades are composed of a combination of iron and carbon. This material is very strong and durable and can be heat treated to create a strong, sharp edge that is capable of slashing through even tough materials. Carbon steel is also relatively easy to maintain and sharpen, making it an ideal choice for those interested in making and caring for their own katana.

We use top quality materials, including premium 1060 and 1095 high carbon steel to craft completely authentic blades. All of our swords are fully functional and can be hand sharpened to a razor edge if desired. Before you add a sword to your cart, simply select if you wish it to be unsharpened or hand sharpened. Since each piece we create is made of hardened steel, even the unsharpened blades can be dangerous and must be treated with care.

True katanas are a traditional Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade that is long and slender. The katana is the most iconic of all Japanese swords, and its history dates back to the 12th century. True katanas are handmade by master swordsmiths using a specific technique that involves heating and hammering the steel to create a unique grain pattern known as the hamon. The katana is still used in modern martial arts such as Kenjutsu and Iaido, and is highly prized for its craftsmanship and beauty. Collectors will pay a premium for genuine antiques, and some of the oldest examples can command prices in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Whether you are looking to add to your sword collection or you’re ready to rush into battle, any of our quality swords will serve your purpose.

FAQs

A katana is a japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands.

The katana is generally defined as the standard-sized, moderately curved Japanese sword with a blade length greater than 23.86 inches. It is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands.

Western historians have said that the katana was among the finest cutting weapons in world military history.

Having a regular cleaning routine in place is key to maintaining your katana.

You can purchase a traditional sword cleaning kit that will have everything you need. There are three steps: removing oil, polishing the blade, and oiling the blade.

Using a sheet of rice paper from the kit or soft cotton cloth, remove any oil that is still on the blade from the previous maintenance. Take the powder ball and tap it lightly against the blade about every two inches or so along its length. Take a fresh piece of rice paper and rub the powder over the blade to polish it. Do this until both sides of the blade have been polished and the powder completely removed. Take the bottle of oil and apply a few drops along the length of the blade on each side. Use a fresh piece of rice paper to spread the oil evenly on the blade.

The most iconic and well known of all the Samurai swords; the katana is distinguished by its long blade and handle that is made to accommodate two hands and strike from a large distance. It has a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard. The katana has a set of dimensions that separate it from other samurai swords. A traditional katana will measure 3 to 4 feet in total length, with the hilt taking up one-fourth of the total and a characteristic curvature of more or less than 1 inch.

A full tang katana is the sword where the tang extends to almost the whole length of the handle, which makes the blade and the handle the same piece of metal. This gives to the sword certain rigidity and makes it a very solid piece to enjoy.

Full Tang katanas are handmade swords. They can be made of various stainless-steel types according to the Carbon Concentration. The forging is the essential part of the production because it allows the samurai sword to be solid and relatively light. Commonly, the piece of metal is repeatedly heated by fire and hammered while the metal is being folded. The mounting of the different parts is a very delicate operation that has its origins deep in the Japanese civilization. Samurai are used to cherish their Katanas as their trusted partners, and they handle them with love and care.
