Our katana range brings together hand-forged Japanese-style swords with real steel blades, from carbon steel display pieces to folded pattern steel and clay-tempered blades with a natural hamon. Most are made by sword smiths in Longquan, China.

Every listing shows the blade steel, heat treatment, blade and handle length, and weight, so you can compare swords side by side. Looking for a specific style? Browse uchigatana, tachi, wakizashi and tanto, or read our sword steel guide.
