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.

Black and gold / 1060 steel / Kinkuro

Kinkuro Black and Gold Katana with a Crackle Saya

Gold-colored veins cross the black lacquered saya of Kinkuro, with matching wrapping and cord carrying the color into the handle. The blade stays polished silver, so the black-and-gold fittings remain the main feature. Around the guard, dragon shapes and a bright metal background add detail beside the densely patterned collar.

The blade

1060 steel with a decorative scalloped line

The blade is polished 1060 carbon steel with a scalloped line near the edge. This line is machine-produced for its appearance, rather than a genuine clay-tempered hamon. The blade is sharpened and full tang, measuring 72 cm. Its silver-colored finish contrasts with the gold wrapping and darker scabbard.

The fittings

Gold wrapping, dragon fittings and crackle lacquer

Gold PU leather wraps the handle over synthetic rayskin. A thick gold-colored cotton sageo ties around the black lacquered saya, where branching gold veins create a kintsugi-inspired effect. The copper tsuba uses chrome and gold finishes around its dragon openwork. The silver-finish habaki carries small floral scroll patterns.

Choose gold fittings or a golden blade

Kinkuro puts most of its gold color on the wrapping, guard and saya. Molten Gold puts a golden swirl finish across the blade instead. For a warmer blade paired with teal wrapping and a silver saya, compare Harugasumi. Those photos show how different two gold-themed swords can look.

In your collection

Keep the crackle saya beside the silver steel

The matching saya and ornate display stand are included. The black lacquer makes the branching gold pattern stand out, while the polished blade provides a lighter surface beside it. Allow room for the 105 cm overall length and arrange the sharpened edge securely.

Caring for your Kinkuro katana

Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above and keep the blade dry. Avoid abrasive polish on the gold-colored finish, chrome details and saya decoration. Wipe the PU leather gently and keep blade oil away from the wrapping and cotton cord.

Kinkuro katana questions

Is the Kinkuro blade gold-colored?

No. The blade has a polished silver-colored finish. The gold color appears mainly on the handle wrapping, cord, guard details and black saya decoration.

Is the hamon clay-tempered?

No. Kinkuro has a machine-produced decorative line. Its rounded outline gives the blade a hamon-like appearance, but it is not a genuine clay-tempered hamon.

What is the gold crackle pattern?

It is a decorative finish on the black saya, inspired by the branching gold lines associated with kintsugi. It is not a claim that the scabbard was broken and repaired.

Are the gold parts solid gold?

No solid-gold parts are listed. Gold describes the color and finish of the wrapping, cord and decorated fittings.

Is the handle wrapped in leather or cotton?

The handle uses gold PU leather, a synthetic leather material. The scabbard cord, called the sageo, is gold-colored cotton.

Is the rayskin genuine?

No. Synthetic rayskin is used beneath the gold PU leather wrapping. Small grip ornaments sit between the crossings.

How does it compare with Molten Gold?

Both list 1060 steel. Kinkuro has a silver-colored blade with black-and-gold fittings; Molten Gold has a golden swirl blade finish and different scabbards and guard details.

Is it sharp, and what comes with it?

Yes. The sharpened katana, matching saya and ornate display stand are included. It is sold for collection and display and measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade.

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.
