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.
Cream saya / twin blade grooves / Royal Shinto
Royal Shinto sets a silver-colored blade against warm cream wrapping and a matching saya. Two narrow grooves run beside one another along the steel. Near the handle, a small chrysanthemum motif sits on the brass collar, while the darker copper guard carries raised dragon decoration.
The blade
Bo-hi are the lengthwise channels also called fullers. Royal Shinto has two running beside one another, creating a pair of narrow lines along the polished blade. The steel is listed as 1060 carbon steel, with full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. The specification gives a 72 cm blade length; it does not provide a measured weight reduction or promise a particular sound.
The fittings
The wooden saya is lacquered in a warm cream color and decorated with a dragon motif. Cream cotton on the handle and saya keeps the palette consistent. The copper guard has dark raised decoration and a warmer rim. The small golden flower appears on the brass habaki beside it, so the collar and guard each have their own detail to notice.
Royal Shinto is a contemporary model name, not a claim that this is an antique blade or a sword with imperial provenance. Its appeal is in the pale finish, twin grooves and decorated fittings. Compare the cooler white palette of the White Katana, or the black-and-gold Imperial with its T10 blade and choji hamon. The steel guide helps with that material comparison.
In your collection
The matching saya and a black display stand with dragon decoration are included. Keeping the cream scabbard visible beside the blade lets you see the full color scheme. Leave room for the 105 cm overall length and position the sharpened blade securely when arranging your display.
Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Wipe the grooves carefully with a soft cloth, without using abrasive tools. Keep oil off the pale cotton and lacquered saya, and clean gently around the small raised details on the fittings.
It means the blade has two parallel lengthwise grooves, also called fullers. The close-up photos show the two channels beside one another.
Yes. It is listed as 1060 carbon steel with full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. A particular heat-treatment method is not specified.
The handle wrapping, saya and cord are described as cream. The photos show a warm pale shade rather than a bright, cool white.
The small golden flower is on the brass blade collar, or habaki. The copper guard beside it has darker dragon relief decoration.
No antique provenance is claimed. Royal Shinto is the name of this modern collectible design, with 1060 steel and cream-colored fittings.
No. The specification confirms two grooves, but does not give a measured weight comparison or a tested sound. They are described here as a visible feature of the blade.
The matching saya and a black display stand are included. The sword measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle.
Yes. It is listed as sharpened and is sold for collection and display. Take care when cleaning the blade or moving it between the saya and its stand.

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.
