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.
Damascus steel / star-pattern saya / Aurora
Aurora keeps a mostly black palette, broken up by small golden marks on the saya and warm-toned bamboo decoration on the guard. The polished blade has a quieter appearance than the scabbard. Black cotton wrapping and a dark cord keep the different patterns together without adding another strong color.
The blade
Aurora is listed as Damascus steel, with a patterned grain visible in the blade close-ups. It is sharpened, full tang and 72 cm long. The blade finish is silver-colored rather than black or blue. A genuine clay-tempered hamon is not specified for this model, so the Damascus designation should be considered separately from the heat treatment.
The fittings
Small golden circles and star-like marks decorate the glossy black wooden saya. Its opening has a genuine horn koiguchi, with thick black cord and brown accents tied nearby. The copper guard shows bamboo relief against a darker background, edged in a warm metallic tone. A brass collar with geometric cutouts sits beside it, and black cotton wraps over genuine rayskin on the handle.
Aurora combines a silver-colored blade with a dark, decorated saya. Starfall adds gold-colored handle wrapping and a black blade to its turquoise-and-gold flecked scabbard. For a brighter Damascus design, Baioretto uses purple wrapping and diagonal stripes. The katana steel guide explains the material differences behind those finishes.
In your collection
The matching saya and an ornate display stand are included. Keep the decorated side of the scabbard visible beside the polished blade, with enough light to pick out the smaller marks. Allow space for the full 105 cm length and secure the sharpened blade in your display.
Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above and dry the steel after handling. Avoid abrasive polishing around the guard and the golden saya decoration. Use a soft cloth on the lacquer and horn fitting, keeping blade oil off the cotton wrapping and rayskin.
The glossy black saya has scattered golden circles, dots and star-like marks, giving it a constellation-inspired appearance. The close-up shows the decoration beside its dark cord.
Yes. The product specification lists Damascus steel, with a patterned grain on the polished blade. A particular layer count is not provided.
No. The material designation does not by itself confirm a temper line or a heat-treatment method. Aurora does not list a clay-tempered hamon.
No. The guard is listed as copper. Bamboo is the decorative motif on its surface, not the material of the guard or blade.
Yes. Genuine rayskin is listed beneath the black cotton wrapping. The saya cord is black with brown accents.
The koiguchi is the fitting at the scabbard opening. Aurora specifies genuine horn for this part; it is separate from the lacquered wooden body of the saya.
It measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The matching saya and an ornate display stand are included.
No. Its steel blade is sharpened. It is sold for collection and display, with careful handling needed when cleaning it or moving it between the saya and stand.

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.
