The Jin Katana is a gateway into the world of the katana, combining accessibility with historical representation.
Blade (刀身): The black blade, made of manganese steel, is designed with particular attention to aesthetics. Its ebony appearance and matte finish give it a modern look while respecting the traditional silhouette of the katana.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted iron tsuba is decorated with detailed motifs reminiscent of the ornaments typical of the Edo period. Every detail pays tribute to the skill of the craftsmen of the time, renowned for their intricate and detailed art.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wooden saya is embellished with illustrations depicting historical scenes, offering an artistic glimpse of the Edo period. This time capsule is both a decorative element and a silent teacher of Japan's cultural richness.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The handle, also made of wood, is covered with imitation rayskin for a comfortable and attractive grip. The cord wrap (tsuka-ito) around it adds a traditional touch and gives a better hold.
It is a fine choice for anyone wanting to begin a collection or simply bring a touch of history and elegance to their space.

Jin katana without engraving and unsharpened. Received on the very day indicated when ordering. It is magnificent. Of very high quality, and I also thank Katana Japonais for the impeccable tracking and the quick replies. I very strongly recommend.
Fabrice C.
Really very pretty and well made for the price!! Really congratulations to the blacksmiths and other people who made this sword. As soon as I can afford it again I think I'll order another one
Morgane C.
Very happy with our order. We received it in a very pretty, very well made box. The designs are very realistic and incredible. Incredible quality. We were more than satisfied. And we will happily order again on the Katana site. We recommend it to all fans of this kind of thing. Even without the master's sharpening, the sword is very very sharp. Incredible. However, we were very disappointed with FedEx who delivered the parcel. I had ordered it for...
Richard L.
The quality of the image printed on the wood leaves something to be desired.

Aurelie V.
The katana made quite an impression when I gave it as a gift. Thank you.
Jules V.
For its price this katana is really great, nothing to say despite a very long delivery time (hence the 4 stars). I had to pay a little customs fees but nothing unexpected. I recommend!
Manon B.
Parcel well protected, the blade had a plastic with oil around it, a magnificent fabric around the katana and the wooden box is a big plus! The only problem was with shipping because it was international and with customs and postal services it was quite long (it's not their fault).
Marion M.
Magnificent katana of very good quality.
Jean-michel D.
