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 blade / gold wrapping / Starfall

Starfall Black and Gold Katana

Gold-colored wrapping and a dark blade give Starfall its contrast. The saya adds a different texture: turquoise and gold flecks scattered across glossy black lacquer. A broad, pale wave follows the blade edge, and the guard carries warm-toned relief rather than a plain polished finish.

The blade

A black 1060 blade with a decorative hamon line

Starfall uses 1060 carbon steel with a black finish. The wide, wavy line along its edge is listed as machine-made, so it is a decorative hamon rather than a claimed clay-tempered line. The blade is sharpened and full tang, measuring 72 cm. Its dark surface makes the pale wave especially visible in the close-up photos.

The fittings

Gold PU wrapping and a speckled black saya

The handle is wrapped in gold-colored PU leather over synthetic rayskin. PU is a synthetic material; the gold describes its color. A thick gold-colored cotton cord matches the handle, while the copper guard has warm relief decoration. Turquoise and gold flecks give the black wooden saya a scattered pattern that reads differently from the smooth blade finish.

Choose where you want the contrast

Starfall puts a large part of its gold color on the handle, with a dark blade beside it. Kinkuro offers another black-and-gold design to compare. If a temper line is the detail you are looking for, Imperial is specified with a clay-tempered choji hamon. The steel guide explains why finish, steel and heat treatment deserve separate attention.

In your collection

Keep the flecked saya beside the blade

The matching saya and an ornate dragon display stand are included. Arranging the scabbard beside the sword lets you see the turquoise flecks as well as the gold-colored handle. A simple background keeps those smaller details readable. Leave enough room for the 105 cm overall length and secure the sharp blade.

Caring for your Starfall katana

Use a soft cloth on the black blade and lacquered saya. Avoid abrasives that could mark the colored finishes, and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above for the steel. Keep blade oil away from the PU wrapping and cotton cord.

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.
