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.

Tamahagane Steel Clay Tempered Katana with Real Hamon - Brown Multi-Color Saya Copper Shrimp Tsuba |
Gave this to my son for his high school graduation and he was thrilled. It is beautiful! He has wanted a katana for many years. I thought the symbolism was perfect for him as he finished high school and is moving into adulthood. Truth, loyalty, honor, discipline, faith, and righteousness -all perfectly balanced like the katana are the qualities of the man I hope my son will be. Also, the katana is unbreakable which is especially meaningful to my son, following a particularly dark time in his life. Oh, and he was the envy of all his friends!

Blue Manganese Steel Katana with Buddha-Print White Saya - Blue-Red Tsuka Ito, Bronze Alloy Tsuba |
Didn't think it was legit, it was it came in less time than it was supposed to about a week. I opened it up and I sliced my finger open by accident so yes it does function correctly. Handle with caution if you choose to buy other than that I recommend buying if you want a sword.

Very happy with the item. The design is beautiful. Arrived in perfect condition. Really impressed with how well crafted this sword is!
I was worried about problems with the sword being imported into Japan, which is very strict regarding it's laws on swords, but there were surprisingly no problems at all!
Thank you very much. I'm very proud to be the owner of such a beautiful looking sword.

It arrived much sooner than I expected especially since it’s the holiday season. I haven’t opened it yet since it’s a gift for my best friend so I can’t say much of anything on the quality but even still I’m satisfied.
