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.

T10 steel / cream lacquered saya / Shizukesa

Shizukesa T10 Katana with a Cream Saya

Shizukesa pairs a plain cream scabbard with dark brown wrapping and a polished blade. There is no large pattern on the saya, so your eye moves toward the horn mouth, detailed guard and line along the blade edge. Small blue accents in the handle add a cooler note to the warm cream and brown palette.

The blade

A T10 blade with an authentic hamon

Shizukesa is specified with T10 tool steel and an authentic clay-tempered hamon. The line follows the cutting edge of the polished blade, rather than forming a separate engraved picture. The blade is listed at 72 cm, sharpened and full tang. The angled photo helps show the edge line beside the broader reflective surface.

The fittings

A horn koiguchi and brown cotton wrapping

The cream saya has a genuine horn koiguchi, the dark fitting at its mouth. Dark brown cotton ito covers genuine rayskin on the handle, and brown sageo continues the color on the scabbard. The listed copper guard has an antiqued finish, dragon openwork and a warmer rim. A brass collar with geometric cutouts sits between the guard and blade.

A light-colored saya without a busy pattern

If you are considering a white katana, Shizukesa offers a warmer cream alternative. Its plain scabbard puts more attention on the dark fittings and handle. Compare the cream-colored Royal Shinto katana for a 1060 steel option with blade grooves. For another T10 model with a much darker saya, see Deep Sea Fang.

In your collection

Give the cream finish a little space

The listed display stand is included with the sword and saya. A simple background makes the cream scabbard and dark brown cord easy to distinguish. Leave enough space for the 105 cm overall length and keep the sword away from direct sunlight, moisture and places where it could be knocked.

Caring for your Shizukesa katana

Wipe fingerprints from the steel after handling, keep it dry and follow the blade care instructions for oiling. Clean the saya and horn mouth gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the horn or handle, and keep oil and cleaning products away from the cotton wrapping.

Shizukesa katana questions

Is the hamon clay-tempered or decorative?

The product specification identifies an authentic clay-tempered hamon on this T10 blade. That is different from the machine-made decorative hamon listed on some other models.

Is the scabbard white or cream?

It is cream lacquered wood. The warm shade is part of the finish; it is not an ivory scabbard. Lighting can make the cream appear lighter or warmer in photographs.

What is the koiguchi made from?

The koiguchi, or mouth of the saya, is listed as genuine horn. It forms the dark border where the blade enters the cream scabbard.

Is the rayskin genuine?

Yes, genuine rayskin is specified beneath the dark brown cotton ito. It is visible through the diamond-shaped openings in the wrapping.

What is the guard made from?

The specification lists copper with an antiqued finish. It has dragon openwork and a warm-toned rim. The blade collar is listed separately as brass.

How does T10 compare with Damascus steel?

T10 names a steel grade. Damascus describes a patterned steel construction, so the labels tell you different things. Compare each model's listed finish and construction in the katana steel guide, rather than assuming either label guarantees a particular hardness or hamon.

How long is Shizukesa, and does it include a stand?

The listed overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. A matching cream saya and an ornate display stand are included.

Is this a sharp sword?

Yes. The blade is specified as sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display, and should be handled carefully during maintenance and stored securely.

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.

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.
