A Katana (かたな) is a Japanese sword that is recognized by its curved blade with a single edge. It has a guard (Tsuba) and a long handle that is made to be held with two hands. The blade measures about 24 in (2 shaku) and it is the weapon of the samurai who carried it with a Wakizashi, this forming a Daisho.

Katanas are considered knives and governed as such by state laws, so it is perfectly legal. In the United States, you must be 18 years old or have clear parental permission before owning a Katana.

Whether or not you can carry a katana outdoors depends on the state you live in, and we recommend that you check your state's laws for yourself. In general, it is forbidden to carry the sword openly in public, and it must be in a special bag or secure case.

Our Katanas are forged traditionally by craftsmen. The polishing is also done by a master so that the blade is sharp, and you can perform Tameshigiri cutting. We also offer a razor sharpening option where our master polisher will spend a few extra hours on your sword so that it cuts like a razor.

We deliver worldwide. However, we invite you to check in advance the conditions of purchase and import of weapons in your country. We cannot check the regulations of each country at every moment and modify our countries served according to that.

All our Katanas are full tang. We forge the swords by hand and the blade continues into the handle in order to provide better strength and resistance during practice, but also to respect the Japanese know-how.

A Katana made in Japan with the famous Tamahagane steel by a Japanese blacksmith in the tradition usually costs between $5,000 and $15,000. However, there is a lot of confusion around the Katana, as there are also antique Katanas that are traditionally forged and can be found second hand for $1000 and up depending on the state.

You can also find traditionally forged Katanas in other countries with other steels also very qualitative for a few hundred dollars. In our store, we offer Katanas starting at $200.
