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.

Cinema inspired / Kill Bill

Kill Bill Katana: Black Fittings and Patterned Steel

Black lacquer and a black-wrapped handle keep this Kill Bill katana understated until the blade comes into view. Its patterned steel and Japanese lettering add the close-up detail, framed by a simple dark guard and brass collar.

The blade

Damascus steel with visible grain

The specification lists folded Damascus steel with a sharpened edge and full-tang construction. The polished blade shows layered grain, a wavy line and Japanese characters near the guard. These are the details of this particular collectible, rather than a promise that it duplicates every marking on the sword seen in the film.

The fittings

Black PU leather over white rayskin

The handle uses black PU leather wrapping over genuine white rayskin. PU describes the outer synthetic wrap; it should not be confused with the rayskin underneath. A simple circular iron guard and brass collar lead into the blade, while the black lacquered hardwood saya keeps the same dark finish along the full sword.

The Hattori Hanzo sword connection

In Kill Bill, the Bride seeks out Hattori Hanzo to obtain a sword for her journey. That scene made the black-sheathed katana a familiar piece of movie imagery. This cinema-inspired model combines that restrained look with patterned steel and its own blade lettering. Our Hattori Hanzo sword article explores the film connection in more detail.

In your collection

A movie-inspired piece with close-up detail

The horn-style stand lets you display the blade alongside the black saya. Leave enough room around the blade to see its grain and lettering, which are less apparent in a distant view. The black fittings also make it easy to place beside more colorful anime or game-inspired swords without every piece competing for attention.

Caring for your Kill Bill katana

Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above and keep moisture off the blade. Wipe the steel after handling, keeping oil away from the PU wrap and rayskin. Clean the black lacquer with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive polishing on the blade's decorative surface.

Kill Bill sword questions

Is this the Hattori Hanzo sword from Kill Bill?

It is a Kill Bill-inspired collectible. Hattori Hanzo is the sword maker associated with the Bride's blade in the film. This listing describes our version, including its patterned steel and Japanese lettering.

Is it the same sword used in the movie?

No. It is a retail collectible inspired by the film, not a screen-used prop. Compare the blade markings, guard and handle in our photos if you are looking for a particular version of the movie design.

What creates the pattern on the blade?

The blade is listed as folded Damascus steel. Its layered grain is visible in the close-up photos alongside the Japanese lettering and wavy line.

Is the black handle made from genuine leather?

The black outer wrap is PU leather, a synthetic material. The white rayskin beneath it is listed as genuine. The specification table separates those two materials.

Is the Kill Bill katana sharp?

Yes. It has a sharpened steel blade and full-tang construction. It is sold for collection and display, not as a blunt film or costume prop.

What are its dimensions?

The overall length is 105 cm, about 41 inches. The blade is 72 cm and the handle is 30 cm. Use those measurements when choosing a shelf or display location.

Does it include the black scabbard and stand?

Yes. The black lacquered wooden saya and horn-style display stand are included with the katana.

Can I add a personalized engraving?

Yes. Choose Engraving (Free) and enter your text above. Review the engraving example and existing blade decoration before ordering your personalized sword.

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.
