FAQs

what is a katana?

Physically, it is the iconic, single-edged, curved blade of the Japanese warrior, renowned for its unparalleled sharpness, strength, and elegant balance. Spiritually, it represents a profound discipline—the harmony of artistry and function, patience and power. Each traditionally crafted katana is a testament to centuries of master smiths’ knowledge, folded into a legacy that cuts through time.

Absolutely. Every katana we offer is crafted as a true, full tang blade.

This means the high-carbon steel core runs uninterruptedly through the entire length of the handle, forming its solid backbone. It is not merely a partial insert or a weak point of assembly. This traditional, integrity-first construction is non-negotiable for a functional blade, ensuring maximum strength, perfect balance, and long-term durability—whether for display, practice, or rigorous cutting.

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.
Answer: A katana crafted in Japan from the traditional Tamahagane steel by a Japanese smith usually costs between $5,000 and $15,000. Our store offers katanas starting at $200.

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.
