By purchasing from Katana Corp, you acknowledge and agree that:
For full details, please refer to our Terms of Service.
To maintain your katana's appearance and performance over time, we recommend:
- Regularly wiping the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
- Applying a light coat of choji oil to prevent rust (for carbon steel blades).
- Storing the sword in a dry place, preferably inside its saya.
- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.
For more care tips, check our full maintenance guide in the FAQ section.
Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.
More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.
Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.
Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.
This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.
Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.
Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.
Navy silk and a bamboo motif / Aozora
Aozora keeps to a navy palette, from the silk-wrapped handle to the cord and glossy saya. A white bamboo motif breaks up the blue scabbard, while white synthetic rayskin shows through the handle wrap. The blade specification lists T10 steel with a genuine hamon in a 33 cm format.
The blade
Aozora lists a genuine hamon, described in the existing product information as clay-tempered. The blade is T10 tool steel, with full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. Its 33 cm blade and 16 cm handle give it a smaller footprint than a wakizashi or full-length katana. A hardness result is not provided.
The fittings
Navy blue silk wraps over white synthetic rayskin, and matching silk sageo ties around the saya. The wooden scabbard has a glossy navy finish and a white bamboo motif. The bamboo is the decoration, rather than a claim that the saya itself is made from bamboo. Iron fittings and a brass blade collar complete the material specification.
Aozora and Seiryu have blue scabbards, but their blade descriptions differ. Aozora lists a genuine hamon. Seiryu lists a blue finish without a genuine hamon. Compare those details along with the bamboo decoration and handle wrapping in the tanto collection.
In your collection
Aozora comes with its saya and a wooden display stand. The listed overall length is 50 cm. A plain backdrop leaves the white bamboo decoration visible, while enough space around the sword makes the navy handle and matching cord easier to appreciate.
Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Use a soft cloth on the lacquered scabbard, avoiding abrasive products around the motif. Keep blade oil away from the silk wrapping, silk cord and synthetic rayskin.
The blade specification lists a genuine hamon, and the existing product information describes it as clay-tempered. This is distinct from a colored surface finish.
It is T10 tool steel. You can compare material names in our steel guide; the steel grade and hamon are separate details.
The product information describes a wooden saya with a bamboo motif. The white stalk-and-leaf design is decoration on the navy surface, not the stated scabbard material.
Yes. Both the navy blue handle wrapping and matching sageo are listed as silk. White synthetic rayskin sits beneath the handle wrap.
The listed measurements are 50 cm overall, with a 33 cm blade and a 16 cm handle.
Aozora lists T10 steel and navy silk. Hagane lists Damascus steel and black silk. Both specify a genuine hamon and a 33 cm blade, with different fittings and scabbards.
Yes. The included items are the tanto, its navy wooden saya and a wooden display stand.
Yes. The blade is listed as sharpened with full-tang construction. It is sold for collection and display, with care required around the edge.

Customer reviews
Good sword, small issue on arrival
Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.
Way better than I expected
Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.
Got it as a gift, he was speechless
Bought for my boyfriend who does iaido. He said the fit and finish were legit. I knew nothing about swords, site made it easy to pick.
Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive
Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
Third order, still no complaints
Ordered three times over two years. Always well packed, matches the photos. Support replied same day. Will keep coming back.
