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.
Straight blades and rosewood / Kagehana
Kagehana pairs a straight, polished blade with warm rosewood. There is no cord wrapping around the handle, and no broad guard breaking up its outline. The dragon decoration and small metal fittings give you something to look at up close, while the wood remains the main feature when the sword is sheathed.
The blade
The blade is listed as high-manganese steel, with full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. Its straight profile is easy to see in the tip photograph. At 72 cm, it is a full-length blade, so this ninjato needs more display space than its clean outline might suggest. No particular hardness or clay-tempering process is specified for this model.
The fittings
Rosewood appears on both the handle and scabbard. You can see the grain beside the dark dragon decoration, with small metal accents near the blade. The photos show a narrow transition between the blade and handle rather than a projecting tsuba. That gives Kagehana a noticeably different silhouette from a sword with a large round guard.
The straight blade is the starting point here. If you are comparing a ninjato with a katana, look at the profile as well as the fittings: Kagehana does not have the curved outline of a katana. Our ninjato collection also includes wrapped handles and colored blades, so a straight sword does not have to mean one particular style.
In your collection
An ornate dragon display stand and the matching rosewood saya are included. Allow for the listed 105 cm overall length and leave room to see the scabbard alongside the sword. Against a plain backdrop, the grain and dragon decoration are easier to pick out than among other patterned objects.
Keep moisture and fingerprints off the steel, and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Use a soft, dry cloth on the wood and small fittings. Keep blade oil away from the rosewood and avoid soaking or scrubbing the decorated areas.
It is a ninjato with a straight blade. A katana has a curved blade profile. Kagehana is listed with a 72 cm blade, so choosing a ninjato here changes the shape rather than giving you a short sword.
The specification lists high-manganese steel. It does not give a numbered alloy grade, hardness result or heat-treatment certificate. The steel guide explains the material names used across the shop.
The product photos show no projecting guard. The narrow metal fittings near the handle should not be confused with the wide round tsuba found on many other swords.
No. The handle is rosewood without ito wrapping. The matching rosewood scabbard carries the same warm wood appearance.
A genuine clay-tempered hamon is not specified for Kagehana. Its description should not be read as a promise of differential hardening.
The listed dimensions are 105 cm overall, a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. Check the full size of your display area before choosing a location.
Kagehana comes with its rosewood saya and an ornate dragon display stand. The blade, wood fittings and included stand are listed in the specifications above.
Yes. It is listed as sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display, and the edge needs to be kept secure during handling and maintenance.

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.
