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 / purple striped saya / Baioretto
The diagonal silver-white bands are what you notice first. They cross a deep purple scabbard, with matching purple cord and handle wrapping carrying the color through the rest of the sword. Drawn beside the saya, the polished silver blade gives those strong colors some breathing room. Baioretto is a purple katana with a bright, graphic finish.
The blade
Baioretto is listed with a Damascus steel blade and a bo-hi, the long groove visible near the spine. The blade has a polished silver appearance, so the purple belongs to the fittings rather than the steel. Its listed length is 72 cm, with full tang construction and a sharpened edge. The close-up shows the groove beside the broad reflective face.
The fittings
Purple cotton ito wraps over synthetic rayskin in a diamond pattern. At the blade end, the copper tsuba has a dark coiled-creature relief and warmer details around its edge. A circular crest decorates the brass blade collar. Farther along, the silver-white bands on the lacquered saya give the design a clean rhythm, while the purple sageo keeps the cord within the same palette.
The straight diagonal bands make Baioretto easy to recognize even when it is sheathed. For a more scattered pattern, compare the Amethyst Nebula katana and its purple saya. If you want the color on the blade itself, look at Mugengane. Those are different ways to build a purple display, so compare the blade as well as the scabbard.
In your collection
The included wooden stand lets you display the sword with its scabbard. Leaving the saya visible keeps the striped pattern part of the arrangement. Allow room for the listed 105 cm overall length, and choose a stable spot away from passing hands and direct sunlight.
Keep the steel dry and wipe away fingerprints after handling. Follow the blade care instructions before applying a light coat of suitable sword oil. Use a soft, dry cloth on the lacquer and raised guard details. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the purple finish, and keep oil off the cotton wrapping.
No. Baioretto has a polished silver-colored blade. The purple is on the cotton handle wrapping, scabbard and sageo, with silver-white stripes across the saya.
The product specification lists Damascus steel. That describes the patterned steel construction, rather than a single steel grade. The katana steel guide explains the labels used across the collection.
It is a bo-hi, a lengthwise groove near the spine. It is separate from a hamon, which is a line associated with the blade edge. This model does not list an authentic clay-tempered hamon.
Purple cotton ito over synthetic rayskin. The synthetic material is visible through the diamond-shaped openings in the wrapping.
Yes. The silver-white diagonal bands form part of the lacquered scabbard decoration. They are separate from the purple sageo cord tied around the saya.
Both list Damascus steel and use purple fittings. Baioretto has diagonal silver-white stripes and a sculpted dark guard. Amethyst Nebula has a scattered pattern on its purple saya. Compare the individual photos and specifications to choose the details you prefer.
The listed overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. The product includes a matching saya and a wooden display stand.
It is a sharpened, full tang sword sold for collection and display. Treat the edge as sharp when arranging or maintaining it, and keep it securely stored away from children.

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.
