Care & Maintenance

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.

Behind the Blade

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.

User Experience

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.

Black-and-white fittings / Shirokuro

Shirokuro T10 Katana with Black-and-White Fittings

Shirokuro combines a pale, patterned handle wrap with a glossy black scabbard and a silver-colored geometric guard. The blade stays polished rather than brightly colored, letting the hamon stand out. Look closely at the handle photos: dark marks break up the white wrapping instead of leaving it plain.

The blade

Polished T10 steel with a visible hamon

The T10 tool steel blade is hand-polished, with a visible undulating hamon along its surface. The blade measures 72 cm and has full-tang construction and a sharpened edge. Its silver appearance fits the black-and-white mounting, while the temper line gives you a detail to compare with other polished T10 models.

The fittings

Silk wrapping and a geometric guard

The handle uses white silk with hishigami over genuine white rayskin. Dark flecks in the wrap and the black-and-white cord add texture to the pale handle. The guard is silver-finished brass with a geometric crosshatch design. Buffalo horn is used at the mouth and cord fitting of the high-gloss black wooden saya.

Black and white, with different textures

The main contrast is between the pale wrapped handle and the black scabbard. Up close, the patterned silk, geometric guard and polished blade each have a different surface. If you are comparing white-handled swords, notice the scabbard and blade color too: our White Katana uses a white saya and a much darker blade finish.

In your collection

Keep the full outline visible

An ornate stand comes with the katana and saya. A background that separates the black scabbard from its surroundings helps the full curve remain visible. Leave enough space for the 105 cm length, with the handle clear of nearby objects and the edge secure.

Caring for your Shirokuro katana

Use clean, dry hands around the pale silk wrapping and avoid rubbing it with oily cloths. Keep the polished steel dry and follow the blade-care instructions above. A soft cloth is enough for light dust on the glossy saya; avoid harsh cleaners around the horn fittings.

Shirokuro katana questions

What does Shirokuro mean?

Shirokuro means black and white. The name reflects the pale handle, dark saya and contrasting details on this model.

Is the handle plain white?

The specification lists white silk, and the product photos show dark flecks across the pale wrapping. Check those close-ups if you are choosing it to match other white fittings.

What are hishigami?

They are small supports placed beneath the wrapping crossings to help form the diamond pattern. This model is listed with silk ito and hishigami over genuine rayskin.

What steel does Shirokuro use?

The blade is hand-polished T10 tool steel with a visible hamon. The katana steel guide explains the steel names used on our product pages.

Is the rayskin genuine?

Yes. Genuine white rayskin is specified beneath the silk handle wrapping. It is separate from the outer silk ito.

Where is buffalo horn used?

At the scabbard mouth, called the koiguchi, and the cord fitting, called the kurikata. The body of the saya is lacquered solid wood.

Is this a sharp, full-size katana?

Yes. It has a sharpened, full-tang blade and measures 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. It is sold for collection and display.

Does it come with a display stand?

Yes. The glossy black saya and ornate dragon display stand are included with the katana. Other models linked below are sold separately.
