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.
Dragon engraving and shell details / Ginkai
The dragon on Ginkai is part of the blade itself. It runs through a patterned steel surface, above a dark scabbard with shell details and a charcoal leather handle. Silver-plated fittings keep the colors quiet so the engraving remains the first thing to inspect.
The blade
The blade is specified as folded T10 Damascus steel, clay-tempered with a hitatsura hamon. A dragon horimono adds a separate engraved subject to the patterned surface. It is worth looking at both the dragon and the surrounding steel rather than treating them as one motif. The blade has a hand-shaped point, full-tang construction and a sharpened edge.
The fittings
The copper guard has silver plating with floral and dragon relief. The fuchi and menuki also have silver plating, while a copper blade collar adds a warmer accent. Charcoal leather wraps the handle. The shell-style saya has a solid wood core and abalone inlay near its opening, with a thick black cord beside it.
Ginkai and Ryujin approach the dragon theme differently. Ginkai puts the creature on the steel, while Ryujin gives it a sculpted form around the guard. If you prefer a blade without an engraved subject, Kumo offers another look at a cloud-like hamon with simpler navy fittings.
In your collection
The katana, saya and horn-style bronze stand are included. A position that lets you see the side of the blade will show the dragon more clearly than a view from directly above its spine. Allow room for the 105 cm overall length and keep the sharpened edge secure.
Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions for the polished steel. Avoid abrasive compounds around the engraving, plated fittings and shell details. Dust the scabbard with a soft cloth and keep blade oil off the leather wrapping and cord.
Horimono is blade engraving. On Ginkai, a dragon is engraved into the steel as a distinct subject alongside the Damascus grain and hamon.
Yes. The specification lists folded T10 Damascus steel with a genuine hitatsura hamon. The dragon engraving is a third, separate visual feature.
No. It is copper with silver plating and floral-dragon relief. The handle collar and grip ornaments are also silver-plated.
The shell-style wooden saya has abalone inlay near the opening. Its small iridescent details catch light differently from the dark surrounding surface.
No. This model uses genuine charcoal-colored leather ito. That is one of the differences to compare with the cotton-wrapped Kumo or silk-wrapped Shirokuro.
Yes. The folded T10 Damascus blade is sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display, so take care with the edge when setting it up or cleaning it.
Ginkai means Silver Sea. The silver-colored fittings and shell details carry that palette through the sword without adding a bright colored blade finish.
The overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. The matching saya and horn-style bronze display stand are included.
