Care & Maintenance

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.

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.

Blue Damascus steel / turquoise cotton / Kessho Sora

Kessho Sora Blue Damascus Katana

Kessho Sora brings several shades of blue into one design. The blade has a deep blue finish, the cotton wrapping is turquoise, and the saya carries white splashes over a brighter blue background. A dark, flowing guard and warm metal details break up the color without taking attention away from the steel and scabbard.

The blade

A blue Damascus blade with a groove

The specification lists Damascus steel with a blue finish and a bo-hi groove. The polished surface changes in appearance with the light, so the close-ups are useful for comparing the color and blade detail. It is a sharpened, full tang blade listed at 72 cm. The Damascus label describes the steel construction; the blue is its visible surface finish.

The fittings

Turquoise wrapping and a splatter-pattern saya

Turquoise cotton ito covers genuine rayskin on the handle. The listed copper guard has flowing relief and a warm-toned rim, with a brass collar and geometric cutouts beside it. The saya shown in the photos is blue with a scattered white pattern. Blue-and-white sageo ties those colors together around the scabbard.

Blue on the steel, or purple on the fittings?

Kessho Sora is worth comparing with other colored blades as well as other Damascus models. Azure Spirit offers a blue blade with a different steel specification and fittings. Baioretto uses Damascus steel with a silver-colored blade and purple striped saya. The choice is as much about where you want the color as which steel label you prefer.

In your collection

Show the saya pattern beside the blade

An ornate display stand is listed with the sword. Keeping the matching saya in view lets the white splatter pattern sit alongside the darker blade and turquoise handle. Use a stable surface with enough clearance for the 105 cm overall length, away from moisture, direct sunlight and places where the sword could be knocked.

Caring for your Kessho Sora katana

Remove fingerprints from the blade after handling and keep it dry. Follow the care instructions for suitable oiling, and avoid abrasive polish on the blue finish. Wipe the lacquered saya gently with a soft cloth. Keep liquids away from the cotton wrapping and dry the blade before returning it to the scabbard.

Kessho Sora katana questions

Does Kessho Sora have a blue Damascus blade?

Yes. The specification lists Damascus steel with a blue surface finish and a bo-hi groove. The blade is sharpened and full tang.

Is the saya blue or teal?

The matching saya shown in the photos is bright blue with a white splatter pattern. The deeper blue or teal-looking reflective surface in the close-up photos is the steel.

What is the white pattern on the scabbard?

It is scattered white decoration over a blue lacquered background. The small marks give the saya its crystal-splatter appearance, separate from the blue-and-white cord tied around it.

What are the handle materials?

Turquoise cotton ito over genuine rayskin. The texture beneath the wrapping is visible through the diamond-shaped openings.

What is distinctive about the tsuba?

The listed copper guard has a flowing outline and raised decorative forms, with a darker surface and warmer rim. The close-up shows its shape beside the brass blade collar.

Does blue Damascus mean the blade has a genuine hamon?

No. Steel construction, surface color and hamon are separate details. This model does not specify an authentic clay-tempered hamon. The katana steel guide explains the different labels.

How does it compare with Tentai Drake?

Both have blue blades, but Tentai Drake lists 1060 steel, a sculpted ABS handle and an orange saya. Kessho Sora lists Damascus steel, a turquoise cotton-wrapped handle and a white-on-blue patterned saya.

How long is it, and is a display stand included?

The listed overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. A matching saya and an ornate display stand are included. This is a sharp sword sold for collection and display.

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.
