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.
Damascus / dragon saya / Shadow Moon
Shadow Moon keeps its blade bright and its fittings dark, with warm copper details between them. The saya carries a long dragon design that gives the sheathed sword plenty to look at. Along the blade, the polished face meets a textured spine, while black-and-white wrapping continues the contrast through the handle.
The blade
The specification lists Damascus steel with a hand-polished face and a hammered, or tsuchime, spine finish. Those finishes give different areas of the blade a different texture. The close-up lets you compare the repeated texture along the back with the grain on the polished steel. Shadow Moon is sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm blade.
The fittings
The black lacquered wood saya has a dragon design in relief, with lighter highlights picking out the creature and surrounding details. A copper guard combines openwork with floral and dragon motifs, and a patterned copper habaki sits beside the blade. Black-and-white cotton wraps over genuine white rayskin. The scabbard cord adds black and gold tones.
In your collection
A matching saya and red lacquered display stand are included. The dragon decoration can be enjoyed with the blade sheathed, while a side-by-side arrangement also reveals the different blade finishes. Leave room for the 105 cm overall length and keep the edge secure.
Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Keep the steel dry and use a soft cloth around the textured spine and guard. Clean the saya relief gently without abrasive products. Keep oil off the lacquer, cotton cord and handle wrapping.
It pairs a polished Damascus steel face with a hammered spine finish. The difference is in the surface texture, not a claim that one side uses a different steel grade.
The specification uses tsuchime for the hammered finish along the back of the blade. You can compare this textured area with the smoother polished face in the close-up.
The listing describes dragon decoration in relief on the lacquered wood saya. The gallery shows the raised-looking design and lighter details along its length.
No. Shadow Moon is an original Katana Corp model with a dragon saya and Damascus blade. It is not listed as a Moonveil replica.
The polished blade has a silver-colored steel appearance. The light tone comes from the metal finish, rather than a listed white blade coating.
Yes. The specification lists genuine white rayskin beneath black-and-white cotton wrapping, with a black-and-gold scabbard cord.
Yes. The blade is sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display and needs careful handling around the edge.

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.
