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.
T8 steel / gunome hamon / Shinku Raijin
Small red diamonds show through Shinku Raijin's black handle wrapping, while the saya keeps the outside of the sword dark and simple. Draw the eye toward the blade and the repeating rounded hamon becomes the main detail. A warm-rimmed floral guard sits between the two, bringing gold-toned ornament to the black and red handle.
The blade
The specification lists T8 steel with an authentic clay-tempered gunome hamon. The line forms repeating rounded rises along the edge, clearly visible in the blade close-up. The blade is 72 cm long, sharpened and full tang, with a chu-kissaki point. The T8 designation identifies the steel; a measured hardness for this finished blade is not supplied.
The fittings
Black cotton ito crosses over red genuine rayskin. The copper guard has a dark field with gold-toned floral and curling ornament, framed by a warm brass rim. Repeating curved lines decorate the brass habaki. The black lacquered saya has a genuine horn koiguchi at its mouth, with thick dark cord tied nearby.
In your collection
The sword comes with its matching saya and an ornate display stand. A soft light across the blade helps reveal the rounded hamon, while the plain black saya leaves room for the guard and red handle accents. Allow clearance for the 105 cm overall length and keep the blade secure if displayed unsheathed.
Dry the steel after handling and follow the blade care instructions above. Use a soft, dry cloth on the lacquer and horn mouth, avoiding prolonged moisture. Keep oil off the cotton and genuine rayskin, and dust the guard gently around its raised ornament.
On this blade, it is a line with repeating rounded rises along the cutting edge. The close-up shows the shape more clearly than a general description such as wavy or zigzag.
Shinku Raijin is specified with an authentic clay-tempered gunome hamon. That is different from the machine-made decorative lines listed on some other models.
T8 is the steel grade listed for this katana. The grade alone does not tell you the finished blade's measured hardness. See the steel guide for the material terms used across the shop.
Yes, the specification lists red genuine rayskin beneath black cotton ito. Its red color is visible through the diamond-shaped openings.
The koiguchi is the mouth of the scabbard. On Shinku Raijin, that fitting is listed as genuine horn and forms the border where the blade enters the black saya.
Shinku Raijin offers T8 steel, a rounded gunome hamon and red handle accents with black lacquer. Shizukesa has T10 steel, brown wrapping and a cream saya. Both list genuine rayskin and a horn saya mouth.
It measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. The matching saya and an ornate wooden display stand are included.
Yes. Shinku Raijin is a sharp, full-tang steel sword sold for collection and display. Treat the edge with care when cleaning the blade or arranging it on a 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.
