Custom Katana

What is a Custom Katana?

A Custom Katana is a samurai sword designed according to your personal vision and requirements. Every detail can be tailored — from the blade’s forging style, steel type, and hamon pattern, to the saya lacquer, tsuba design, and tsuka wrapping. Created exclusively for you by skilled artisans, a custom katana reflects individuality, tradition, and craftsmanship.

When placing a custom katana order, you can select from a wide range of options:

• Forging Styles: Maru-zukuri, Sanmai, Kobuse, Gomai, Shichimai-gitae, and more.

• Steel Types: T10, 1095, 5160, 9260, CPM 3V, 65Mn, and even hand-refined Oroshigane.

• Hamon Styles: Straight (Suguha), Wave (Notare), Midare, Chōji, Gunome, and other traditional patterns.

• Saya Lacquer Finishes: Gloss black, ishime-ji, kin-nashiji, palm bark style, raden inlay, and other urushi techniques.

• Tsuba Designs: Round, mokko, sukashi (openwork), engraved iron, copper, or brass themes.

• Tsuka Wrapping: Cotton, silk, or leather ito in multiple colors, with hishigami reinforcement and custom menuki motifs.

Whether for martial arts training, a unique collector’s piece, or a meaningful personalized gift, our artisans will turn your vision into reality.
