The Sakura 櫻花 Katana is a splendid expression of the delicate balance between art and craftsmanship, a piece that will appeal to enthusiasts of traditional Japanese swords for its beauty and finish.

Blade (刀身): The Damascus steel blade with hamon is not only pleasing to the eye with its wavy patterns; it also offers greater resistance to bending thanks to its many layers of steel forged together.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔) & fittings: The finely carved, polished copper fittings are not just ornaments; their weight and balance contribute to the overall handling of the katana, in addition to adding a touch of elegance with their detailed motifs.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wood of the scabbard gives sturdy protection to the blade, while the leather mount and sageo (cord) offer both an aesthetic touch and added practicality when carrying the katana.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The premium ray-skin leather used for the handle provides a textured surface for a better grip, essential for precise and safe handling.

This piece is a true collector's item; its Damascus steel construction, thoughtful balance and hand finishing make the Sakura Katana a beautiful object to display. With a total weight of 1.88 kg with the scabbard and 1.22 kg without, it skilfully combines traditional aesthetics with modern performance.

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.
