A katana is a traditional Japanese sword recognized by its curved, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard (tsuba), and long handle designed for a two-handed grip. Historically carried by samurai warriors, the katana is celebrated worldwide as both a masterwork of metallurgy and a symbol of Japanese culture. Today, katana swords are collected as art pieces, displayed as home decor, and used in martial arts training.
It depends on your goals. 1045 carbon steel is durable and affordable — great for first-time collectors. 1095 carbon steel and T10 tool steel offer excellent edge retention and are ideal for serious enthusiasts. Damascus steel is prized for its distinctive folded patterns. For the ultimate in tradition, tamahagane steel represents the pinnacle of Japanese sword-making, produced using methods dating back centuries.
A full tang katana is a sword where the blade's metal extends the entire length of the handle, making the blade and handle one continuous piece of steel. This construction provides superior structural integrity, better balance, and enhanced durability compared to partial tang designs. All TrueKatana swords feature full tang construction as standard.
Clean the blade with a soft, lint-free cloth after each handling to remove oils and fingerprints. Apply a thin layer of choji oil (or mineral oil) every few months to protect against rust. Store your katana in a dry environment with the cutting edge facing upward. For display pieces, avoid direct sunlight to preserve the saya's lacquer finish.
Yes. Every katana order ships free within the United States — no minimum purchase required. We also offer international shipping to most countries. Standard U.S. delivery typically arrives within 1–2 weeks for hand-forged items, while our Ready to Ship collection delivers in 3–7 business days.
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all purchases. If your katana doesn't meet your expectations, contact our support team within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. We want every customer to be completely satisfied with their sword.
Every katana in our collection is individually hand-forged by our team of 40+ skilled swordsmiths. From steel selection and forging to clay tempering and handle wrapping, each step is done by hand using traditional Japanese techniques. No two swords are exactly alike — that's what makes each one a genuine collectible.
Absolutely. Our custom katana service lets you choose the blade steel, length, handle wrap color, tsuba design, saya finish, and more. Custom Japanese swords are built to your specifications and typically ship within 3–4 weeks. Visit our Custom Katana page to start designing yours.
Nicely made and looks good. Blade is nowhere near "razor edge sharp" as claimed.

I definitely recommend True Katana to anyone that feels skeptical. I went for a battle ready sword, display piece nonetheless. It could come in handy in some unforeseen circumstance compared to the cheaper swords when it comes to durability. It's all true to its description and just a slight scratch on the scabbard but not upset at all! I have my first Katana!!

For me this seemed like alot of money to spend on a sword. But, that thought changed as soon as I saw and handled it. Ot was exactly as described and then some. Beautiful perfectly balanced sword, Tsuba and case.
A true work of art that will be proudly used and displayed.

T10 Clay Tempered Japanese Katana - Real Hamon, Black Saya, Hand Forged Full Tang |
so I bought a $ 1000 t 10 katana super sharp, owned a cheap 200 three sword set that was a gift several years before and the new katana I just received makes the others feel like a cheap children's toy , that actually broke some pieces off. this is the real deal, the fit and finish are very clean and well done, the sword has a real nice balance , im no expert but a way better feel than the others I owned.. I am going to buy another from them later but I cannot decide if the 3000 sword is really worth it . oh lastly the sword was shipped to Fl in about 4 days , kinda was shocked how quick.
true katana , awesome sword , super happy , now send me a discount coupon so I can make my next purchase easier

my first buy from TK was kind of ok for the $. The second was a midrange tanto and about 10 times better than the 1st. The third buy was a katana. Which is beautifully impressive and another 10 times better. Thank You
