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.
Patterned steel and black fittings / Hagane
Hagane keeps the fittings mostly black, with a warm metal guard and white diamonds showing through the handle wrap. Its blade specification combines Damascus steel with a genuine clay-tempered hamon. The dark lacquered saya gives the sheathed sword a simple outline, with the material details described below.
The blade
The specification lists a 33 cm Damascus steel blade with a genuine clay-tempered hamon. The steel grain and hamon describe different features: one is the pattern of the steel, the other a temper line. Full-tang construction and a sharpened edge are also listed. No layer count or measured hardness is provided.
The fittings
Black silk wraps over white synthetic rayskin on the 16 cm handle. The copper guard and brass blade collar bring warm tones to the dark fittings. Iron is listed for the fuchi, kashira and scabbard cap, with thick black cotton sageo around a black lacquered wooden saya.
Compare Hagane with Aozora if you want a listed genuine hamon in a different color scheme. Aozora uses T10 steel and navy silk, while Hagane lists Damascus and black silk. Our steel guide helps explain the material names without treating one steel label as a guarantee of every manufacturing detail.
In your collection
Hagane includes its black saya and a wooden display stand. Allow for its listed 50 cm overall length. A lighter backdrop brings out the shape of the sheathed sword, while leaving space around the handle makes the silk wrapping and guard easier to see.
Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Use a soft cloth on the saya and fittings, with no abrasive polish on the lacquer. Keep blade oil off the silk, cotton cord and synthetic rayskin.
Yes. Damascus steel is listed in the product specification. A layer count is not given, so none is claimed here.
The specification explicitly lists clay tempering and a genuine hamon. This is separate from the Damascus grain pattern.
The handle wrapping is black silk over white synthetic rayskin. The thicker sageo tied around the saya is listed as black cotton.
The handle and saya are predominantly black, but white synthetic rayskin shows through the wrapping. The copper guard and brass collar add warm metal tones.
It is listed at 50 cm overall, with a 33 cm blade and a 16 cm handle. Use the overall measurement to plan your display.
Hagane lists Damascus steel, a genuine clay-tempered hamon and silk wrapping. Aoto lists blue-finished T10 steel and cotton wrapping. Both have a 33 cm blade, so the materials and appearance are the main differences.
The included set is the tanto, its black lacquered wooden saya and a wooden display stand.
Yes. It is listed as sharpened with full-tang construction. It is sold for collection and display, with care needed 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.
