Discover the balance between tradition and performance with this T10 steel katana, known for its toughness. Each component is designed with precision to reflect the authenticity and elegance of samurai swords.

Blade: At 72 cm long and with a distinct hamon, it embodies quality and craftsmanship, offering a precise, lasting cut.

Tsuba: The zinc alloy guard is finely worked, combining safety and traditional aesthetics.

Saya: The vivid red ebony wood scabbard gives the blade elegant protection, completed by a buffalo-horn kurigata.

Tsuka: The handle is covered in ray skin leather for a comfortable grip, and decorated with alloy menuki, secured by two bamboo mekugi.

Compact and manageable, this katana measures 103 cm with the saya and weighs 1.4 kg, offering an authentic experience for practice or collection.

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
