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 / black lacquer / Kamakura
Kamakura keeps the color simple so you can see the detail in the steel. Fine folded grain runs across the silver-colored blade, beside a warm gold-toned guard covered in leaves and flowers. Black cotton and glossy black lacquer frame that metalwork. The black-and-white cord is the one strong pattern on the saya, tied close to its mouth.
The blade
The 72 cm blade is listed as Damascus steel with dense folded grain. In the close-up, fine lines cross the polished face and continue toward the point. This is a sharpened, full-tang blade with bamboo mekugi pins. The specification does not give a layer count or measured hardness, so the grain is best compared as a visible feature rather than a performance score.
The fittings
The oval tsuba has raised leaves and flowers, with small openings between parts of the decoration. Its warm gold-colored finish sits beside a smooth copper habaki. Black cotton ito wraps over genuine rayskin on the handle. The glossy black saya is more restrained, with a thick black-and-white twisted sageo bringing texture near the opening.
Kamakura keeps the blade silver-colored and the fittings mostly black. For a warmer blade finish, compare Kiso Hida, which has red and copper-colored grain beside an illustrated saya. Akanokiba puts red accents under the handle wrapping instead. The katana steel guide explains the material terms used across these models.
In your collection
A sculptural, bronze-colored display stand is included with the sword and matching saya. Soft light from the side makes the folded pattern easier to see without washing out the polished blade. Keep the cord and floral guard facing outward, and allow clearance for the 105 cm overall length.
Dry the blade after handling and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Use a soft cloth on the black lacquer and dust gently around the raised leaves on the guard. Keep blade oil away from the cotton, genuine rayskin and twisted cord. Support the sharp edge securely while cleaning.
Fine layered lines run across the silver-colored blade, including near the point. The product photos show this texture up close. An exact number of layers or folds is not supplied for Kamakura.
An authentic clay-tempered hamon is not specified. The visible Damascus grain is a separate feature and should not be treated as proof of clay tempering.
The oval guard has a gold-toned finish with raised leaves, flowers and small open spaces. It has more surface detail than a plain, smooth oval tsuba.
Yes. The specification lists genuine rayskin beneath black cotton ito. Small areas remain visible through the diamond-shaped openings in the wrapping.
It is the sageo, a twisted cord tied around the scabbard near its mouth. The alternating colors stand out against the plain glossy black lacquer.
No. Kamakura is the model name of this modern katana. It is sold as a contemporary sword for collection and display, not as a historical Japanese antique.
The listed dimensions are 105 cm overall, a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The matching saya and a sculptural bronze-colored display stand are included. Bronze-colored describes the finish, not a verified solid-bronze material.
It is listed as sharpened, with a full-tang steel blade. Although sold for collection and display, it has a real edge that needs careful handling during cleaning and arrangement.

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.
