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. 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.

T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Purple Lacquered Saya - Ornate Gold-Black Tsuba, Purple Ito |
Neither the images nor the description were misleading. Just as advertised.
My wife loves it. Passed the paper cut test, and the bamboo mat was 2 bamboo mat halves in an instant. Although, the weight is just a smidge foreward for her.

T10 Carbon Steel Katana with Purple Lacquered Saya - Ornate Gold-Black Tsuba, Purple Ito |
Almost perfect, never thought I'd see quality like this at this price point, I originally ordered only one not knowing what to expect, when it arrived even though shipping was somewhat long I was blown away by how great it looked and felt, one week later I ordered one more, I would upload more photos but it only lets me upload one. The steel is perfect, I saw no defects and the blade for both swords are perfectly straight with no dents. There is only one minor minor issue, on one of them the paint is a little "seethrough" on the tip of the sword and you can sort of see the metal, other than that, nothing, if I were to rate them I'd give a 9.5 but at this price they're definitely a 10. The shipping on the other hand could've been faster, no idea if it was fedex's fault but it took 11 days for it to leave the warehouse, it took about 2 and a half weeks for the swords to be delivered.
