The finest sword is the one made for a single hand — yours. Our custom katana is a fully bespoke, made-to-order commission: you choose the blade steel, the temper, the tsuka wrap, the tsuba, and the saya finish, and we forge a sword built around your specification rather than a shelf catalogue.
Specify a folded Damascus blade for that flowing grain, a clay-tempered edge for a true hamon born in the quench, or a robust through-hardened blade for hard tatami cutting — every build runs full-tang and battle-ready unless you ask for a display piece. Because each katana is forged to order, lead times and pricing scale with the spec; figures are quoted from your chosen configuration.
If you would rather start from a finished design, explore the full katana collection — then bring us the changes, and we will build it to your hand.

Absolutely perfect, such fine detailing! Thank you to everyone who made this katana. We’re so happy with it! I expected what I saw in the photos, but in person it was even more impressive.
I love this katana! I’ve got several in my collection, but the craftsmanship on this one is far above the rest. I’ll definitely be ordering another. Just be patient when you order, since they’re handmade. I’ll absolutely be recommending this site to all my friends.
When I ordered from this site the prices for a custom katana were so low that I kept wondering whether there’d be a problem with the build. But when it arrived I was genuinely happy, the quality is really good, the saya is magnificent and the blade is sublime. The value for money is impressive, I have no regrets at all and I recommend them!
Perfect, excellent finish and great customer service. Very pleased!
Wonderful! Hats off to everyone who worked on making this katana, it’s beautiful. The wooden case it comes in is gorgeous, and so is the bag that covers it. A huge thank you to the whole team at Japanese Katana who never stopped keeping in touch when there was a hiccup with the first failed delivery attempt, and who did everything they could to make sure the katana reached me here in Sweden. Congratulations again to the craftsmen who worked on this one.
