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.
Short swords and woven textures / Kurohana
Kurohana mixes dark fittings with small gold-colored details. A long groove follows the polished blade, while woven textures appear on the guard and black scabbard. Look beside the blade and you will find the circular floral crest on the collar. A brown laced panel adds another detail along the saya.
The blade
The 52 cm blade is 1060 carbon steel with a bo-hi, the long groove visible near the spine. It gives the polished surface a clear line that you can follow toward the point. Kurohana is listed as sharpened and full tang. No measured weight reduction is provided, so the groove is described here as a feature you can see rather than a performance claim.
The fittings
The guard has a raised woven pattern with openings around its edge. The circular floral crest sits on the habaki, the collar at the base of the blade. Black cotton wraps over black synthetic rayskin, with gold-colored animal-head ornaments beneath it. The wooden saya repeats the woven texture, broken up by a brown laced panel and gold-colored fittings.
From a distance, Kurohana reads as a dark sword with a polished blade. Closer up, the groove, floral collar and textured scabbard become more noticeable. Compare it with Shinku if you are choosing between restrained black fittings and a red-and-black design. Their blade steel and guard shapes also differ.
In your collection
A wooden display stand with a matching crest is included, along with the saya. Leave space for the listed 80 cm overall length. Placing the scabbard where its woven texture and brown panel can be seen shows more of Kurohana than displaying the blade alone.
Keep the carbon steel dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. A soft cloth can lift dust from the scabbard and fittings without abrasive polish. Keep blade oil away from the cotton, synthetic rayskin and laced panel.
It is a bo-hi, also called a fuller. The long groove is visible beside the spine of the 1060 carbon steel blade. No exact weight saving is specified for this model.
The circular floral crest is on the habaki at the base of the blade. The guard has a separate woven design, so the two fittings should not be confused.
The listed material is black cotton over black synthetic rayskin. A glossy appearance in some photographs does not change that material specification.
The wooden saya has a black woven texture, gold-colored hardware and a brown laced panel. The close-up shows the change in color and surface detail.
The specifications list a 52 cm blade, a 25 cm handle and an 80 cm overall length. It is a shorter sword than the 72 cm-blade katanas found elsewhere in the store.
No. Kurohana is listed as 1060 carbon steel. If you want a Damascus wakizashi, compare it with Shinku and look at both the steel specification and blade photographs.
Yes. The included set is the wakizashi, its textured wooden saya and a wooden display stand with a matching crest.
Yes. It has a sharpened edge and full-tang construction. It is sold for collection and display, with careful handling required when arranging or maintaining it.

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.
