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.
White silk and illustrated details / Shirayuki
Shirayuki uses a white handle and scabbard, with dark artwork along the lower part of the saya. Small gold-colored handle ornaments add a warmer detail. The light fittings make the illustration easy to pick out, while the blade is listed as blue-finished T10 tool steel.
The blade
The specification lists a blue-finished T10 tool steel blade, full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. The blade measures 33 cm, and the overall length is 50 cm. Damascus steel is not listed for this model. A genuine clay-tempered hamon is not specified either, so the steel grade and finish are the relevant blade details here.
The fittings
White silk wraps over white synthetic rayskin on the handle. The iron fittings have a white finish, with a brass collar beside the blade. The wooden saya carries dark illustrative artwork and the supplied photo shows a white cord. The exact method used to apply the illustration is not confirmed, so it is described by its appearance.
In your collection
The included set comes with the saya and a wooden display stand. Allow for the listed 50 cm overall length, with the illustrated side facing outward. A plain background helps the dark details on the white scabbard remain easy to see.
Keep the steel dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above. Handle the white wrapping with clean hands, and keep blade oil off the silk and cord. Use a soft cloth on the illustrated saya and avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged direct sunlight.
No. Shirayuki has a T10 tool steel blade with a blue finish. For a Damascus blade in the same size, take a look at Hagane.
Yes. The listed material is white silk over white synthetic rayskin, with gold-colored handle ornaments.
The current information does not consistently establish that. The saya is described here as illustrated, without a promise that each design is individually hand-painted.
The product photo shows a white cord tied around the saya, matching the white handle wrap.
A genuine clay-tempered hamon is not specified for Shirayuki. Aozora and Hagane are alternatives whose descriptions explicitly list a genuine hamon.
The listed dimensions are 50 cm overall, with a 33 cm blade and a 16 cm handle.
Yes. Shirayuki comes with its illustrated wooden saya and a wooden display stand.
Yes. It is listed as sharpened and full tang. The white finish does not make it a toy; it is sold for collection and display and needs careful handling.

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.
