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.

Every katana in our collection is individually hand-forged by our team of 40+ skilled swordsmiths.

1090 Carbon Steel Purple Katana with Dragon Engraved Blade in Purple Saya with White Stripe Accents |
The blade looks outstanding and it has a really good practical edge. I am a combat haso no kamae fencing instructor with kenjutsu/kendo roots. I used it for test cutting 1 1/2 inch bamboo and tameshigiri with no issues. The katana is mounted solidly and is a good buy for the price point and practicality. It arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. Is recommend orchard from true katana if you're in the market for a strong, sharp and affordable sword. (Please note that if you want a razor sharp blade then it won't stand up to the stress. The reason is that to get it that sharp the metal has to be thinned.) If you can cut bamboo with it and no damage then it's a good blade. Keep in mind that bamboo is hard and of you damage your T-10 blade or any blade, then it is through no fault of True Katana. Knowing how to cut raises a lot of practice. Grandmaster Maverick- Grovetown, Ga.

T10 Folded Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon - Blue Blade, Silver Flower Tsuba, Full Tang |
Another beautiful sword! The reason I chose the Phoenix theme is because in the middle of May 2040CE The Mandate of Heaven will occur. This is caused by the Phoenix weapon. The 6th seal of Revelation, the sun will darken, worldwide volcanism & earthquakes, oceans slip basins, red rain red mud will fall from the sky. And the return of the Vapor Canopy. Cheers!

The only recommendation I will make is please upload the physical dimension specs of the swords -- it would help with people who want to make custom stands or mounts. Otherwise these look lovely and are quality pieces I am glad I purchased. r
