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 blade / branching white pattern / Lightning

Lightning Katana with a Blue and White 1060 Blade

Branching white lines cross the blue blade of Lightning, giving the pattern a different outline from a simple wave. A blue circular guard continues the color beside a bright patterned collar. Pale wrapping with dark accents keeps the handle lighter than the steel, and the white saya shown in the close-ups carries finer lightning-like lines.

The blade

A lightning pattern over 1060 carbon steel

The blade is 1060 carbon steel with a blue finish, white lightning-shaped decoration and a bo-hi groove. The close-up shows the branching lines extending toward the tip. That surface decoration is separate from the steel grade. Lightning has a sharpened edge and full-tang construction, with a 72 cm blade and 105 cm overall length.

The fittings

A blue guard and a lighter handle

The circular iron-alloy tsuba is finished in blue, with small openings near its rim. The textured iron-alloy habaki has a bright metallic appearance beside it. Synthetic leather wrapping covers genuine rayskin on the handle. The close-up makes the contrast between the pale wrapping, darker diamonds and blue guard easy to see.

A storm-themed model with its own details

Lightning is a Katana Corp design rather than a replica of a named game weapon. Compare its branching blade pattern with the rounded white water motif on Nightwater. Shirakawa uses another blue-and-white blade design, paired with a multicolored handle and floral saya.

In your collection

Two saya finishes are listed with the set

The set lists a navy-blue saya, a second white saya and an ornate display stand. The selected photos show the white finish and its fine branching decoration. Leave room for the scabbards as well as the 105 cm sword, with the sharp edge kept secure and the blue guard visible.

Caring for your Lightning katana

Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Keep the blade dry and avoid abrasive polish on the blue and white decoration. Wipe the saya and guard gently with a soft cloth, keeping blade oil away from the leather-style wrapping and cord.

Lightning katana questions

What makes this a Lightning Katana?

The blade has a blue finish crossed by branching white lightning-shaped decoration. The blue guard and the fine pattern on the white saya continue that visual theme.

What steel is underneath the blue finish?

The blade is 1060 carbon steel. It is sharpened and full tang, with a bo-hi groove listed in the specification.

Is it a Lightning Katana from Elden Ring or Project Slayers?

No. This is a physical Katana Corp collectible with a lightning-themed finish, not a replica identified as a weapon from either game.

Does it include two saya?

The set is listed with two: a navy-blue saya and a second white saya, plus an ornate display stand. The close-up photos selected here show the white one.

Is the blue guard metal?

Yes. The tsuba is listed as iron alloy with a blue finish. It has a circular outline and small openings near the rim.

Is the handle wrapping cotton?

No. The specification lists synthetic leather wrapping over genuine rayskin. The pale wrapping and dark accents contrast with the blue guard.

Is the sword sharp despite the decorative finish?

Yes. The 1060 steel blade is sharpened. It is sold for collection and display and should not be treated as a harmless costume prop.

How large is Lightning?

The katana measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. The full dimensions are listed in Specifications above.

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.
