Katana Buying FAQ
Questions you might have before buying a katana.

The term katana is commonly used to refer to a samurai sword, but more precisely, it is the most popular type of samurai sword, professionally known as the uchigatana.
Yes, all our katanas are fully functional and battle-ready unless stated otherwise. They are hand-forged using traditional techniques and meticulously polished.
It begins with carefully selected steel, heated and hammered through countless cycles. A master swordsmith, drawing on years of skill, tempers the blade through precise quenching. The unfinished sword then passes to a dedicated polisher, because in true tradition, forging and polishing are the work of two masters. Finally, only when the blade meets its fittings — the handle, guard, and scabbard — does it become the complete katana you see and hold today.
Avoid touching the blade with bare hands. Clean and lightly oil it before storage (machine oil or even cooking oil if necessary).
All of our katanas are fully functional, but different blades and fittings emphasize different aspects.
You simply need to decide whether you prioritize display and collection or practical functionality.
For functionality, we recommend the affordable and well-balanced manganese steel katanas.
Of course, all other katanas are also fully functional — some are just optimized for specific strengths.
If you're focused on aesthetics, feel free to choose any katana — every piece is crafted for both use and beauty.
