Browse over 1,430 handmade katana swords, each hand-forged by experienced swordsmiths. Our collection spans 12 steel types — from entry-level 1045 carbon steel to premium tamahagane — across traditional, anime replica, and custom designs. Every katana ships free to the US with a 30-day return guarantee.
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.

Spring Steel Dragon Katana with Geisha-Painted Hardwood Saya in Black Ito and Snake Tsuba Collectible Sword |
This was the 3rd sword I've received from True Katana recently and once again exquisite. It arrived on time well packaged in perfect condition and is sharp as all 3 from True Katana have been and it is absolutely beautiful. True Katana blades are top notch and priced well. True Katana not only has my trust but my loyalty. Excellent customer service and quality real deal blades each masterfully crafted with attention to detail. I highly recommend True Katana...

Spring Steel Dragon Katana with Geisha-Painted Hardwood Saya in Black Ito and Snake Tsuba Collectible Sword |
Well made budget swords. Sold feel. 4 stars as the hamon was ground/polished onto the blades not from actual clay tempering. Securely packaged. Relatively fast for international shipping to US.

1060 Carbon Steel Katana with Burl Wood Saya - Black Tsuka, Chrysanthemum Tsuba |
The product overall was awesome, the look and feel of it is great. My only problem is the hand guard at the bottom of the blade is a little loose so it can wiggle.. (that’s why I gave only 4 stars.) but, for a decorative piece that is purely just going to sit on a stand, this was an overall great purchase.
