I'm buying this katana as a display piece. Does it come with a display stand?

Yes! We know most customers buy our katanas as stunning display centerpieces. That’s why every order includes a complimentary $30 gift bundle—featuring a solid wooden display stand and a protective cotton sword bag—so you can elegantly showcase and safeguard your sword right out of the box.

Can I have my name engraved on the blade?

Absolutely! You’re welcome to have your name, a personal motto, or even a custom design engraved on the blade. We offer this engraving service completely free of charge.

Simply leave a note saying “engraving” at checkout, and we’ll contact you by email within 30 minutes to confirm your engraving details and preferred style.
