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.
Cherry blossom saya / blue blade / Shirakawa
Shirakawa combines a blue-and-white blade with green wrapping and red accents on the handle. Its black saya carries painted cherry blossoms, adding a floral detail that stays visible when the sword is sheathed. A dark dragon guard and plain brass collar sit between the colorful grip and the white shapes along the steel.
The blade
The blade is 1060 carbon steel with a blue finish and an irregular white drip-shaped overlay. The white forms repeat across the blue surface, creating a pattern you can follow toward the tip. A hamon line is listed, but the specification does not establish clay tempering. Shirakawa is sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm blade.
The fittings
The handle uses multicolored wrapping described as Tachi-style in the listing. Green, red and darker sections form the repeated pattern around synthetic rayskin. The black iron-alloy guard has dragon relief, and the habaki is brass. Painted cherry blossoms decorate the black lacquered saya, which ends in a dragon-relief metal fitting.
On Shirakawa, the cherry blossom decoration is on the saya, while the blue blade and multicolored handle add other details. Blue Sakura takes a different approach to a blue floral design. Compare Nightwater for a white water motif on blue steel with darker navy fittings. Neither color nor flower decoration tells you the steel grade by itself.
In your collection
The matching saya and an ornate stand are included. The floral scabbard adds detail to a sheathed display, while placing it beside the blade shows the blue-and-white finish too. Leave room for the 105 cm overall length and keep the sharpened edge secure.
Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Avoid abrasive products on the blue and white finish or painted flowers. Use a soft cloth around the saya decoration and guard, keeping blade oil away from the multicolored wrapping.
They decorate the black lacquered saya. The blade uses a blue-and-white design instead, and the handle has green, red and dark accents.
They are a decorative drip-shaped overlay on the blue-finished steel. The close-up shows their irregular, repeated outline toward the tip.
Here it describes the multicolored handle treatment listed for Shirakawa. The photos show green wrapping with red and darker sections, rather than one plain wrapping color.
The material is 1060 carbon steel with a blue surface finish. Blue describes the appearance, not a separate steel grade.
The listing mentions a hamon line but does not confirm its hardening method. The white overlay and blue color do not establish clay tempering.
No. Shirakawa lists synthetic rayskin beneath its multicolored handle wrapping. The guard is iron alloy and the collar beside the blade is brass.
The current product specification describes painted cherry blossoms on the lacquered saya. The full gallery includes views of the floral scabbard.
Yes. The blade is sharpened and full tang. The katana, matching floral saya and ornate display stand are included. It measures 105 cm overall and is sold for collection and display.

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.
