Description

The Shirotsuki Katana (白月 — White Moon) seamlessly combines contemporary design with traditional Japanese swordmaking. Crafted for discerning collectors and practitioners alike, it offers the perfect balance between an exquisite display art piece and functional entry-level cutting on soft targets (Tatami Omote).

Blade Construction & Performance

  • Blade Steel: High-strength manganese steel engineered for high tensile resilience and flexibility, minimizing edge damage or blade breakage during impact.

  • Surface Finish: Deep azure blue electroplating for reinforced rust resistance and a distinct, premium visual finish.

  • Forging Process: Authentic hand-forged craftsmanship.

  • Edge Selection: Available in Razor-Sharp (functional practice) or Dull / Unsharpened (safe exhibition and display).

Fittings & Craftsmanship

  • Tsuka (Handle): Solid lacquered magnolia wood ensuring a rigid, rattle-free grip.

  • Tsuka Wrap (Samegawa): Genuine stingray skin underlay providing maximum friction and sweat absorption.

  • Tsuba (Guard): Precision-sculpted forged iron engineered for reliable hand defense and balanced swing dynamics.

  • Saya (Scabbard): Hand-selected hardwood with a high-luster protective lacquer, custom-fitted for a smooth, secure draw.

Excellent products

Huge congratulations to the craftsmen who forged this katana, the work is absolutely stunning.
The wooden scabbard is beautiful, and the protective sword bag that comes with it is a really nice touch.
A big thank you to the customer support team for staying in close touch with me when there was a slight mix-up with the initial tracking, and for making sure the sword made it safely here to the USA.
Amazing craftsmanship and top-tier service. Highly recommend!

lovee it

I rarely write detailed reviews, but after being burned by cheap decorative wall-hangers in the past, I felt like I had to leave an honest breakdown for anyone on the fence about this katana.
First off, shipping and packaging: I was honestly expecting the wooden scabbard to show up with dings or scratches from transit, but it arrived double-boxed with dense molded foam encasing the entire sword. The blade itself came coated in a light layer of protective mineral oil and sealed in plastic to prevent moisture and rust. It also came with a nice soft cloth storage bag, which was a great touch right out of the box.
this exceeded my expectations across the board for the price point. Solid 5/5 stars—definitely recommend!
