Product Details

This three-piece daisho set brings together a katana, wakizashi, and tanto, each built from folded T10 carbon steel that has been clay tempered to produce a genuine hamon line along every blade. The folding process refines the steel grain while the differential hardening yields a hardened edge at 58 HRC backed by a resilient spine. A hand-polished finish draws the eye to the wavy temper line and the layered texture of the folded steel surface.

All three handles are carved from solid rosewood, pinned with brass mekugi for secure full tang retention. The natural wood grain runs the full length of each tsuka, offering a tactile warmth and firm grip without the need for traditional wrap or rayskin. The shirasaya mounting keeps the profile sleek and unadorned, letting the rosewood speak for itself.

At the junction of blade and saya, a gold-tone alloy habaki features an openwork pattern that contrasts neatly with the matte rosewood. This fitting locks each blade firmly in place and adds the only metallic ornamentation on an otherwise minimalist design.

The sayas mirror the handles in material and color - solid rosewood with a matte finish and a thin black spacer ring separating handle from scabbard. When sheathed, each sword presents a continuous wooden silhouette characteristic of the Shirasaya Wakizashi Katana tradition, designed originally for long-term blade storage and preservation.

The katana measures 41 inches overall with a 29-inch nagasa, while the wakizashi and tanto scale down proportionally to complete the classic daisho pairing plus a companion short blade. The entire set weighs 4.4 lbs. Whether displayed together on a stand or appreciated individually, this collection captures the restrained elegance of Japanese sword craft in a format suited to collectors who value clean lines and authentic construction over decorative excess.

  • Three-piece daisho set includes a katana, wakizashi, and tanto - each forged from T10 carbon steel with full tang construction and clay-tempered blades producing a genuine hamon line.
  • Folded steel blades achieve a hardness of 58 HRC, delivering a refined edge with excellent retention and a hand-polished chrome finish that highlights the visible hamon pattern.
  • Rosewood handles and sayas share a warm natural wood tone with brass mekugi pins, creating a seamless shirasaya silhouette where handle and scabbard flow as one unified form.
  • Gold-tone alloy habaki with an openwork pattern secures the blade at the saya mouth, adding a subtle decorative accent against the natural rosewood grain.
  • Katana overall length measures 41 inches with a 29-inch nagasa, while the wakizashi and tanto scale proportionally - total set weight is 4.4 lbs for balanced display or handling.
  • Each piece features a traditional shirasaya mounting without tsuba, emphasizing the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic prized in Japanese sword storage and collection display.

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

Very much "adult" style of katana, classy, and tasteful for my wall.

The swords are beautifully designed, crafted with attention to detail, and combine form with function. Shipping was very quick (9 days), and packed appropriately for distance and handling. The Hamon of the blades reflect the years of art and service to the legacy of the warrior. I am impressed.

shipped and arrived on time and very well packaged. no damage and blades were sharp and greased and wrapped in plastic film.

scabbards are beautiful and well-constructed. of the three the tanto, small blade was tight in the scabbard, but a little bit of file work corrected that issue and I put a very little bit of grease on the inside and worked the blade in and out to where it is now perfect. I applied furniture wax to the scabbard's and buffed and polished them to a high shine.

highly recommend these blades and they look great on the display stand.

They seem to be a pretty good quality. I’m very happy with what I have got

A very nice product for a relatively low price. The most obvious shortcoming of the swords isn't very obvious at all, and that is the rough interior of scabbards. Otherwise, the craftsmanship is clean. Shipment was handled well, and packaging thorough, although the blades were overly oiled and some oil had made it's way to the wood handles. The only annoyance has been repeated emails pestering me for this review.

I have always loved the look of wood. From the lines to the hue it has always been beautiful to me. Now True Katana has paired this magnificent wood with equally high-quality " true " hamon top of the line steel. You will find no better set in quality and awesome appearance for the money anywhere. Look no further. You have found the set you have been looking for.

I’ve handled real Japanese swords before and these are the real deal. They are so beautiful in person. They are nearly 8 millimeters thick at the widest part. They feel very sturdy and strong.

So far I’m very satisfied
