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.
Natural wood and black steel / Yamitsuki
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
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.
The fittings
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.
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
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.
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.
Yes. The scabbard is hardwood with clear lacquer over its natural grain. The pattern can vary from one piece of wood to another.
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.
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.
It is a decorative crest on the habaki, the collar at the base of the blade. The diamond contains a bamboo motif.
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.
Yes. The specification lists a copper tsuba with a dark patina and floral relief. The dark finish is part of its appearance.
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.
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.
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.
