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.

Natural wood and black steel / Yamitsuki

Yamitsuki Katana with a Black Blade and Wood-Grain Saya

Honey-colored wood grain gives the Yamitsuki katana a warm look before the blade is drawn. Tan handle wrapping follows the same palette, while the black blade and dark floral guard add contrast. A small gold-colored crest beside the guard ties those two sides together.

The blade

A black blade in high-manganese steel

The blade uses high-manganese carbon steel with a black finish. It is sharpened and full tang, with a 72 cm blade and 105 cm overall length. The dark surface changes the look of the sword when it is drawn, but the finish and steel type remain two separate details. Check the blade close-up if you want to compare its appearance with a plain silver blade.

Honey-colored wood grain on the Yamitsuki scabbard

The fittings

Real wood grain beneath clear lacquer

The hardwood saya has a clear lacquer finish that leaves its honey-amber grain visible. Tan cotton wraps the solid wood handle over black synthetic rayskin, and a black-and-white braided cord sits near the scabbard opening. The copper guard has dark floral relief. Beside it, the blade collar carries a gold-colored diamond and bamboo motif.

A natural wood saya with traditional fittings

Yamitsuki keeps the wood grain as the main decoration on the scabbard. It still has a wrapped handle and separate guard, unlike a design that carries exposed wood from the saya through the grip. Our Wooden Saya katana is a useful comparison if you are deciding between those two looks.

In your collection

Show the wood and steel together

The ornate stand is included with the sword and scabbard. Placing the saya alongside the blade keeps the amber grain visible against the black steel. Because wood is a natural material, the exact grain can vary between scabbards. Use the photos to compare the overall color and fittings, rather than expecting every grain line to repeat.

Caring for your Yamitsuki katana

Wipe the lacquered wood with a soft cloth and avoid soaking it. Keep the blade dry and follow the Care & Maintenance instructions for the steel. The black finish does not remove the need for care, and blade oil should stay off the tan cotton and braided cord.

Yamitsuki katana questions

Is the wood grain on the saya real?

Yes. The scabbard is hardwood with clear lacquer over its natural grain. The pattern can vary from one piece of wood to another.

Does Yamitsuki have a black steel blade?

It has a high-manganese carbon steel blade with a black finish. The blade is sharpened and full tang, rather than a wooden or foam display blade.

What is high-manganese carbon steel?

That is the steel type listed for this model. It is distinct from the 1060 and T10 labels used on other products. Our steel guide helps you compare the names without judging a sword by blade color alone.

What is the gold-colored diamond near the guard?

It is a decorative crest on the habaki, the collar at the base of the blade. The diamond contains a bamboo motif.

Is the handle also bare wood?

No. Its wood core is wrapped in tan cotton over black synthetic rayskin. The tan wrap matches the warm scabbard tones, while the black underlayer shows between the crossings.

Is the guard copper?

Yes. The specification lists a copper tsuba with a dark patina and floral relief. The dark finish is part of its appearance.

How long is the Yamitsuki katana?

It measures 105 cm overall, around 41 inches, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. It is a full-size katana sold for collection and display.

Is a display stand included?

Yes. The katana comes with its wood-grain saya and ornate dragon display stand. The other models suggested below are sold separately.

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.
