Description and specifications

This katana stands out through its wood-and-ray-skin saya, which offers unique relief. Its blade is made with San-Mai forging, which gives it undeniable flexibility and strength.

Discover our Ginga Katana, a collector's piece that combines elegance and finesse. Inspired by Japanese art and culture, this katana is a faithful replica of traditional samurai swords, combining aesthetics and function for the pleasure of collectors and martial arts practitioners.

Blade: Forged from refined T10 carbon steel, the 72 cm blade is known for its toughness and durability. The presence of a hamon line underlines ancestral know-how and gives each piece a unique character.

Guard (Tsuba): The careful making of the carved guard recalls Japanese works of art, where every detail counts. It provides extra protection as well as a touch of remarkable elegance.

Scabbard (Saya): The painted solid wood of the scabbard protects the blade robustly while giving a remarkable visual appearance, which makes this katana a striking decorative piece.

Handle (Tsuka): Dressed in lacquered magnolia wood and ray skin leather, the handle gives a comfortable, secure grip while adding a luxurious look to the whole.

With an overall length of 103 cm, a blade width of 3.2 cm and a thickness of 0.7 cm, this katana is a true art object, ideal for the embellishment of your home.

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.

I received my "Ginga" katana on time and the parcel tracking was very precise. Thank you to the whole team for this (as they say in English) "for this extremly good support".
