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.
Blue 1060 steel / sculpted ABS handle / Tentai Drake
Tentai Drake puts the blue on the blade and warm orange on the scabbard. Between them, the sculpted handle adds small painted scenes and a dragon-head pommel. It is a different look from a cotton-wrapped katana: the grip decoration stays fully visible, with the dark guard separating it from the blue steel.
The blade
The blade is specified as 1060 carbon steel with a blue finish and a bo-hi groove. The groove runs lengthwise near the spine, separate from the blade's color. Listed at 72 cm, the blade is sharpened and full tang. Its blue tone changes with reflections in the photos, while the orange saya provides a clear contrast beside it.
The fittings
Hard ABS forms the sculpted grip, with colored mythological panels and a projecting dragon-head pommel. This handle does not use cotton ito or rayskin. The black iron-alloy guard has dragon relief and a silver-colored rim; the brass blade collar has a beaded border. Golden sageo is tied around the orange lacquered scabbard shown in the product photos.
The painted grip is a large part of Tentai Drake's appearance, even when the sword is sheathed. If you prefer a blue blade with traditional cotton wrapping, compare Hekinan. For blue Damascus steel with turquoise cotton and a patterned blue saya, see Kessho Sora. The steel guide explains the material labels.
In your collection
An ornate display stand is listed with the sword. Arrange the matching saya so it does not hide the handle panels or dragon-head pommel. The sword is 105 cm overall, so leave room at both ends and choose a secure place where the projecting details cannot catch on passing objects.
Keep the blade dry and remove fingerprints after handling. Follow the care instructions for a colored blade, using suitable oil and avoiding abrasive polishes that could mark the finish. Dust the sculpted grip and pommel gently with a soft cloth or soft brush. Do not soak the handle or use solvents on the painted details.
The blade has the blue finish. The matching saya shown in the product photos is orange, with golden cord. The handle uses several painted colors.
No. It is a hard ABS grip with sculpted and painted panels. It does not use the cotton-over-rayskin construction found on many other models in the collection.
The specification lists 1060 carbon steel. The blue appearance describes the surface finish, not a different steel grade.
The blade has a blue surface finish. The available specification does not establish the exact coloring process, so the color alone should not be treated as proof of a particular heat treatment.
It is a bo-hi, a lengthwise groove near the spine. It is separate from the blue surface color and is not an engraved lightning pattern.
Both list blue 1060 steel blades. Tentai Drake has a sculpted ABS handle and an orange saya, while Hekinan uses a wrapped handle. The product photos make the difference in grip shape and decoration easy to compare.
The listed overall length is 105 cm, with a 72 cm blade and 30 cm handle. A matching saya and an ornate display stand are listed with the sword.
Yes. The blade is listed as sharpened and full tang. It is sold for collection and display, rather than as a blunt costume prop, and needs secure storage and careful handling.

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.
