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.

1095 steel / golden dragon guard / Koryo Ogon

Koryo Ogon 1095 Katana with a Golden Dragon Guard

The golden guard is the first detail you notice on Koryo Ogon. Its intertwined dragon forms stand out against a black handle and plain glossy saya. The blade stays silver-colored, with a wavy line following the edge. Close up, the brass collar and small gold-colored handle ornaments continue the warmer tones around the guard.

The blade

Hand-polished 1095 steel with a wavy blade line

Koryo Ogon is listed as 1095 carbon steel with a hand-polished finish. The photos show a continuous wave-like line along the blade. They do not establish a raised, tactile carving or a particular tempering method. The sharpened blade is full tang and measures 72 cm, with the remaining dimensions in Specifications above.

The fittings

A copper guard with intertwined dragons

The guard is listed as copper with a golden finish and raised dragon decoration. Open spaces between the forms give the fittings depth from either side. Black cotton wraps over genuine rayskin, with gold-plated menuki listed beneath the crossings. The glossy black magnolia-wood saya keeps its surface simple, so the guard remains the main ornament when the sword is sheathed.

Choose the dragon details you want to see

Koryo Ogon concentrates its dragon decoration around the guard. Imperial carries dragon details onto the blade and black saya, with a T10 choji specification. Deep Sea Fang offers a darker guard, navy saya and a bo-hi groove. Compare complete specifications with the help of our steel guide, rather than choosing by steel number alone.

In your collection

Give the golden guard a little breathing room

The matching saya and a black display stand are included. Keep nearby objects clear of the guard so its raised shapes are visible from the side as well as the front. The sword is 105 cm overall; allow room at both ends and secure its sharpened blade when displaying it drawn.

Caring for your Koryo Ogon katana

Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance guidance above. Avoid touching the steel with bare fingers to examine the wave pattern. A soft cloth works around the guard relief and lacquered saya; keep oil away from the cotton wrapping and genuine rayskin.

Koryo Ogon katana questions

What steel is the Koryo Ogon katana made from?

It is listed as 1095 carbon steel with a hand-polished finish, full-tang construction and a sharpened edge.

Is the wave pattern carved in relief?

The photos show a wavy line on the polished blade, but do not confirm a raised carving. It is described as a blade line without promising a texture you can feel.

Does Koryo Ogon have a clay-tempered hamon?

A clay-tempering method is not specified for this model. The visible wave pattern alone is not enough to establish how the blade was heat-treated.

Is the golden guard solid gold?

No. The guard is listed as copper with a golden finish and intertwined dragon decoration. The separate blade collar is brass.

Is the handle wrapped over genuine rayskin?

Yes. The specification lists genuine rayskin beneath black cotton ito, with gold-plated menuki as the small ornaments under the wrapping.

What is the saya made from?

The saya is listed as magnolia wood with a glossy black lacquer finish. Its plain surface contrasts with the decorated guard.

How does 1095 compare with T10 on other models?

They are different steel grades. Compare each sword's construction and stated heat treatment as well as the grade; neither name alone supplies a measured hardness or guarantees better performance.

What size is Koryo Ogon, and what comes with it?

It measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The katana, matching saya and black display stand are included. It is 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.
