Steel Type

Steel type is crucial when choosing a sword, as each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We've added descriptions for each steel to help you choose the best one for your needs.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

$900

Tamahagane (Mass-produced)

Tamahagane steel is known for its strength and beauty. While traditional tamahagane steel is forged in a tatara, this version is mass produced, yet remains genuine and much more affordable.

Select

$2,400

Tamahagane (Custom)

Tamahagane steel is the traditional steel used in Japanese swords. Combining iron sand and charcoal in a tatara, our high end tamahagane is not only genuine, but is also produced using traditional methods, offering the most authentic Japanese sword experience outside Japan.

Length (Nagasa)

The standard length is the most commonly used length for katanas. Choosing a different length would significantly increase the production time.

Blade Construction (Gitae)

Gitae is the core and inner structure of the Japanese katana, involving various layers and types of steel traditionally used to enhance the sword's strength, flexibility, and cutting ability.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

Maru

Maru-gitae is a traditional Japanese method where a single type of medium to high carbon steel is shaped into a blade. The distinctive hardness variation between the blade's edge and body is achieved solely through heat treatment.

Select

$200

San-Mai

The "sanmai," or "three-layer forging", involves a high carbon steel core and edge, flanked by tougher steel layers for support. This design allows extensive polishing without exposing the softer core at the edge.

Select

$200

Kobuse

Kōbuse construction, or "armor-covered," involves wrapping a softer core steel with a high-carbon shell to create a durable, sharp blade. This method enhances the blade’s edge and strength by forming martensite crystals.

Select

$300

Hon San-Mai

The hon-san-mai construction uses three types of steel for the inner core: the softest at the spine, medium on the sides, and hardest at the edge.

Select

$300

Shihozume

Similar to the hon-sanmai technique but includes an extra piece called munegane (ridge metal) along the spine, making the blade's structure more durable. This is one of the most complex blade structures, featuring four different hardness levels.

blade

4/11

Blade Shape (Zukuri)

The Japanese katana sword comes in various blade shapes, known as zukuri. These shapes not only influence the sword's appearance but also affect its cutting ability. Opting for a shape other than Shinogi-Zukuri increases the processing time of the sword.

Curved

$0 – $300

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

Shinogi-Zukuri

The Shinogi-Zukuri style, used in 90% of katanas, features a prominent ridge line (shinogi) for added thickness. It has a curve for easier unsheathing with the ridge line near the spine for a sharper profile.

Select

$100

Shobu-Zukuri

Shobu-Zukuri has a diamond shape similar to Shinogi-Zukuri but without a well-defined point separating the blade from the kissaki zone.

Select

$100

Hira-Zukuri

Opposite the Shinogi-Zukuri is the Hira-Zukuri, which features flat blades on both sides without a shinogi ridge line running across its center.

Select

$100

Nagamaki-Zukuri

The Nagamaki-Zukuri style features a central ridge line and a large groove near the handle, making the sword lighter and more flexible. Common in katanas and heavier nagamaki swords, this design was made for sweeping strikes against armor and cavalry.

Select

$100

Unokubi Zukuri

The Unokubi-Zukuri style is similar to the Kanmuri-Otoshi-Zukuri, but it is distinguished by a thickened back near the kissaki (tip of the blade). This style features a more pronounced curvature and a broader, heavier blade, which provides greater impact during slashing in tameshigiri (cutting practice).

Select

$100

Osoraku Zukuri

The Osoraku-Zukuri blade profile is favored for shorter blades like the tanto dagger. It features a slender base that broadens significantly towards the kissaki (tip). This style often includes a ridgeline along its length with a yokote (tip transition point) near the midpoint, optimizing the blade for powerful cuts.

Select

$200

Katakiriha-Zukuri

The katakiriha-zukuri style looks unorthodox because it combines two different types of zukuri blades. One side of the blade is flat, featuring a hira-zukuri shape, while the other side has a shinogi ridge line running its entire length.

Select

$300

Kanmuri-Otoshi-Zukuri

The Kanmuri-Otoshi-Zukuri is a distinctive blade profile with a single edge and a spine that thickens and widens towards the tip. It lacks a yokote line at the kissaki (tip) and features a continuous ridgeline from the guard to the tip. Some variations include a fuller near the thickened portion of the blade for better balance. Although this shape is complex, it allows for stronger thrusting attacks.

Straight & Double-Edged

$100

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

$100

Kiriha-Zukuri

This is the oldest style of the Japanese zukuri shape, frequently seen on ancient Japanese single-edged swords known as chokuto. This same zukuri style, without a yokote line, would be similar to Shinogi-Zukuri but with the shinogi ridge line running very close to the cutting edge.

Select

$100

Kissaki-Moroha-Zukuri

The Kissaki-Moroha-Zukuri, or Kogarasu-Zukuri, starts with a single-edged base and transitions to a double-edged point. Known as a double-edged katana, it features nagamaki-like bevels and grooves. The spine widens near the tip, forming a distinctive, broad silhouette.

blade

5/11

Groove/Fuller (Bohi)

Depending on what zukuri you choose, you would have some restrictions on what bo-hi you can choose due to the blade's geometry. Some geometries don't allow for any kind of bo-hi due to their thin steel parts or overall design. Additionally, some zukuri styles have a standard bo-hi that we recommend.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

No Bohi

A flat Japanese katana blade without the presence of a bohi (groove). This makes the blade slightly heavier as well as intact with its original structure. It is preferred by some for harder tameshigiri (cutting practice) targets.

Select

$50

Bohi

The Bo-Hi is a groove/fuller that is located near the spine of the blade. It significantly lightens the blade by removing some metal without compromising its structure or integrity. This results in a louder tachikaze (sound of slashing).

Select

$100

Double Bohi

Also known as futasuji-hi. It is similar to Bo-Hi but features two slimmer grooves.

Select

$100

Bohi with Soe-Hi

The Bo-Hi with Soe-Hi features a thick groove close to the spine accompanied by a second, thinner groove under the ridge line.

Select

$50

Naginata-Hi

The Naginata-Hi, a type of Bo-Hi groove, is named after its common appearance on naginata polearms. Positioned near the hilt, this groove is shallow yet deep and relatively short. It enhances the blade's aesthetic and reduces its weight.

Select

$100

Naginata-Hi with Soe-Hi

The Naginata-Hi with Soe-Hi features a shallow yet short groove close to the handle accompanied by a second, thinner groove under the ridge line.

blade

6/11

Tang Groove/Fuller (Nakago-Hi)

At this step, you have the option to choose the style of the nakago-hi, which refers to both how it ends and its shape near the nakago. It can either stop just before the nakago or continue into it, with various style options available.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

No Nakago-Hi

Select

Kakinagashi

The Kakinagashi is a type of groove that extends from the blade and ends somewhere at the mid-point of the nakago (blade tang) or just above the mekugi-ana (opening for the peg).

Select

Kakitoshi

The Kakitoshi is similar to the Kakinagashi-hi. It is a regular type of blade groove that does not end near the mekugi-ana (opening for the peg). Instead, it extends all the way to the end of the blade tang.

Select

$50

Marudome

Marudome is a customizable hi (groove) option where the groove starts with a rounded design. This enhances the blade's aesthetics by giving the hi a smoother and more visually appealing beginning.

Select

$50

Kakudome

The Kakudome is a tang groove that starts with a square shape. This design makes the groove more visually striking, enhancing the blade's overall aesthetics.

blade

Blade Tip (Kissaki)

The kissaki options are generally limited by the katana's shape (zukuri). The only zukuri that allows you to choose any size of kissaki is shinogi-zukuri.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

$50

Ko-Kissaki

The Ko-Kissaki is the smallest version of a katana's blade tip. It is shorter in dimensions, narrower towards the tip, and thinner in proportion.

Select

Chu-Kissaki

The Chu-Kissaki is the medium, average-sized katana blade tip, commonly used throughout history. Often paired with the shinogi-zukuri blade profile, it typically measures 1.1 to 2.3 inches (3-6 cm) in length, with standard thickness and width.

Select

$100

O-Kissaki

The O-Kissaki is the largest blade tip available on a katana, typically exceeding 2.3 inches (6 cm) in length. Rare on certain zukuri profiles, this tip often features a visible yokote and is longer than it is wide.

blade

8/11

Tip Point Line (Yokote)

The Yokote is the distinctive transition line separating the body of the blade from its tip, creating a visual and physical separation.

There are some recommendations or limitations for this step because you chose ""

Select

Without Yokote

No yokote makes the tip appear as one with the body of the blade.

Select

With Yokote

The blade features a visually attractive yokote that distinctively separates the body of the blade from its tip.

blade

9/11

Temper Line (Hamon)

One iconic feature of the Japanese samurai katana is the hamon, a temper line created by applying clay to the blade's edge during the final forging steps. This process makes the edge harder while keeping the spine flexible. Real hamon options are available only with clay-tempered steel, while etched hamons are possible with other types of steel.

Blade Polish (Togi)

Each katana blade undergoes a hand polish, known in Japanese as togi. This final refining step removes all the imperfections produced during its crafting process. Each traditional polish stays true to authentic methods and reveals the blade's best attributes. This masterful and time-consuming process can take weeks or months to complete.

Tang Inscription (Mei)

A signature can be added to the tang, located beneath the handle, where swordsmiths traditionally inscribe their name and the date of the blade. Choosing a custom mei allows us to inscribe anything you wish on the tang, but it will be added with Chinese characters, to honor its creators.

Handle Collar & Pommel (Fuchi & Kashira)

Brass fuchi and kashira typically come in a black finish by default. However, each model can be customized to feature an antique/gold finish. If you see antique gold models without photos in the portfolio, rest assured that the model will look exactly like the black version but with an antique/gold touch. Use FK-27 model as a reference to see the difference between antique gold and black brass.
