Are katanas legal?
In the United States, owning a katana is completely legal. However, laws may vary in other countries/regions, so please check the regulations in your location for more information.
Why do you offer both sharp and dull blade options?
This is purely for safety reasons! We’ve noticed that some customers purchase katanas primarily for display purposes, such as placing them in their living room or office as a decorative piece to enhance the space. They may have concerns about safety risks. With this in mind, we offer the option of a blunt edge. However, it's important to emphasize that this does not affect the quality of the katana; we simply haven’t sharpened the blade.

What is T10 Carbon Steel?
A: T10 Carbon Steel (a high-carbon tool steel with 1% carbon content) is one of the ideal materials for traditional katana forging, combining both performance and aesthetic appeal. It is especially suited for sword enthusiasts who value both practical use and collectible craftsmanship.
1. Exceptional Edge Sharpness & Retention
The high carbon content (~1%) of T10 steel allows it to be hardened to an extremely sharp edge (HRC 58), far surpassing ordinary steels. It retains its sharpness longer, making it ideal for tameshigiri (test cutting) practice.
2. Distinct Hamon (Tempered Line) & Aesthetic Value
Through traditional clay tempering (yakiba-tsuchi), T10 steel develops a vivid, wavy hamon, showcasing the unique artistry of hand-forged blades and satisfying collectors who appreciate the beauty of a true katana.
3. Superior Balance & Handling
T10 steel’s density and forgeability allow swordsmiths to fine-tune the blade’s weight distribution, achieving perfect "kireaji" (cutting feel) and "sori" (curvature) balance—resulting in smooth, powerful strikes.
4. Historical Authenticity & Combat Performance
With a carbon content close to traditional "tamahagane" (Japanese sword steel), T10-forged katanas offer both historical accuracy and modern durability, outperforming most mass-produced swords.
5. Easy Maintenance & Restoration
While high-carbon steel requires rust prevention care, its edge can be re-sharpened when worn, and any forging imperfections are easier for skilled smiths to correct—extending the sword’s lifespan.
Can I use my katana for cutting?
Yes, the katana is designed for cutting. Our katanas are crafted with great attention to materials and craftsmanship, ensuring the blade remains stable and precise during use. However, we must remind you to use it with caution.
How should I maintain my katana?
Proper maintenance can help your katana maintain its performance and appearance over time. Generally, you should clean and oil it regularly, and store it in a dry place, away from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Can I have my desired signature or design engraved on the blade?
Of course! If desired, we're pleased to offer complimentary custom blade engraving service. To ensure the results meet your expectations perfectly, please specify your requirements in the order notes. Our team will contact you via email within two hours after your purchase to confirm all details including font style, patterns, and other specifications. Please note we exclusively provide laser engraving as hand engraving may compromise the blade's structural integrity. (Kindly note that custom engraving may extend processing time by up to 3 business days.)
