The package contains your katana(s), carefully wrapped and protected. If you selected the option, a certificate of authenticity (+$5) will also be included. On top of that, we include a complimentary Japanese fabric carrying bag (a $15 value) with every katana order. You can also add accessories like a stand, a cleaning kit, or a premium storage box to make the most of your collection.

Every katana is crafted only after you place your order. We never produce in advance and we don't keep finished katanas in stock. Once your order is confirmed, our artisans begin forging your sword specifically for you. Each piece is hand-forged in the purest Japanese tradition, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and rigorous quality control.

By not keeping katanas in storage, we preserve the purity of the materials, prevent any oxidation from prolonged storage, and deliver a freshly forged, authentic, and one-of-a-kind katana straight to you. After forging, our swords ship from Asia to offer the best balance between delivery times and cost.

Every katana in our store is hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Once your order is confirmed, processing typically takes 3 to 10 days before shipping.

Once shipped, delivery generally takes between 5 and 15 days. In rare cases, these timeframes may be extended. We do our best to guarantee fast and reliable delivery, but we can't promise an exact delivery date.

All of our swords are built with a Full Tang construction. We forge them so that the blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This design enhances both the strength and balance of the blade while honoring traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Given the unique nature of our katanas, we choose shipping methods designed to guarantee fast and secure delivery while minimizing the risk of customs delays. We typically ship via UPS, known for its reliability. If that option isn't available, we use our secondary partner SF Express to deliver your order under the best possible conditions.

Our team takes great care during the shipping process to minimize any risk of customs fees. In the vast majority of cases, our customers don't pay any additional charges.

That said, in very rare instances, customs authorities may apply import duties. These fees are the buyer's responsibility, as outlined in our Disclaimer. Rest assured, we do everything we can to ensure a fast, smooth, and hassle-free delivery.

No, buying a katana is not illegal in the United States, but it is subject to certain rules. At the federal level, there is no law prohibiting the ownership of a katana, and it is legal in all 50 states. Purchase and possession are allowed for adults 18 and older, and an adult signature is generally required upon delivery.

You can freely display your katana at home, use it for supervised martial arts practice, or keep it as a collector's or display piece. However, carrying a katana in public is regulated and varies significantly from state to state. States like California and New York have stricter rules, while others such as Texas are more permissive. Transport should always be done with the sword sheathed and stored in a secure, non-accessible case — ideally in the trunk of your vehicle — to avoid any issues with law enforcement.

We completely understand that many customers would love to see and handle a katana before buying — that's totally fair. However, we don't have a physical store yet.

That's why we put a real focus on detailed photos, precise descriptions, and all the information you need to shop online with complete confidence. Product quality is our top priority, even from a distance.
