Behind the Blade

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.

User Experience

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 / red and gold saya / Hizakura

Hizakura Damascus Katana with a Choji Hamon

Large rounded shapes run along the edge of Hizakura, making its choji hamon easy to pick out in the blade close-ups. The saya adds a different kind of detail: deep red lacquer, gold circular crests and a speckled band near the opening. Black wrapping and a dark guard keep the attention on those two features.

The blade

Two different markings on the blade

Hizakura lists folded Damascus steel and a genuine choji-style hamon. The Damascus grain and the rounded temper line describe different features: one is the steel pattern, the other the line near the edge. In the close-up, the larger rounded lobes are the most noticeable marking. The blade is polished, sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm length.

The fittings

Red lacquer and a speckled saya opening

Gold circular crests decorate the red lacquered hardwood saya. A darker band with colored flecks sits near the scabbard opening, beside the black cord. The oval iron guard has a brass rim and a patterned brass habaki. On the handle, black cotton crosses over genuine white rayskin, leaving pale diamonds visible between the wraps.

Choose the hamon as well as the steel

The hamon guide explains the line names you will see across the shop. Hizakura emphasizes rounded lobes, while Ginto lists a flame-shaped hamon on T10 steel. For another Damascus katana with more floral detail around the guard, look at Hanachi.

In your collection

The red saya adds color even when sheathed

The matching saya and a dark wooden display stand are included. You can keep the red lacquer and gold crests visible with the blade sheathed, or place the saya alongside a securely displayed blade to show its hamon. Plan space for the 105 cm overall length.

Caring for your Hizakura katana

Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Wipe the red lacquer gently, including the speckled area near the opening. Avoid abrasive products on the crests and brass details, and keep oil away from the cotton and rayskin.

Hizakura katana questions

What is a choji hamon?

It is a temper-line pattern with rounded shapes often compared to clove buds. Hizakura has a prominent version, visible near the edge in the blade close-ups.

What is the speckled area beside the handle?

It is the decorated area near the koiguchi, the scabbard opening. Colored flecks stand out against its darker finish beside the red lacquer.

Is the handle made with genuine rayskin?

Yes. Genuine white rayskin sits under the black cotton ito and is visible through the diamond-shaped openings in the wrapping.

Is Hizakura sharp?

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.

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.
