Frequently Asked Questions

A katana is a traditional Japanese sword characterized by its curved, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard, and a long grip designed for two-handed use. Historically the primary weapon of Japan's samurai warriors, a traditional katana measures 3 to 4 feet in total length with a characteristic curvature of about 1 inch. Modern katana are hand-forged using high-carbon steel such as T10, 1095, or Damascus, and are available as both functional battle-ready weapons and decorative display pieces.
