Buying guide
Understand the choices without reading a wall of text.
Open only the sections you need before returning to the builder.
Why choose the Wakizashi format?Proportion and design direction
A Wakizashi uses a shorter proportion than a full-length katana while retaining the familiar blade, mounting, handle and scabbard design language. It can suit a collector who prefers a more compact silhouette, wants a shorter companion piece or is building a coordinated display. The format establishes the proportion; the options in the builder establish the appearance of this order.
Start with the overall contrast you want—restrained, traditional-inspired, dark, bright or highly decorative—then make the blade, fittings, handle and saya support the same direction. A deliberate palette usually produces a more coherent result than choosing every component in isolation.
Blade, steel and edge decisionsMaterial, geometry, polish and inscription
The current builder separates the blade into practical decisions such as material or steel, blade shape, cutting-edge option, groove, point line, polish and inscription. These controls may appear under names including Zukuri, Ha, Bo-Hi, Yokote, Togi and Mei. Follow the options actually shown in the live builder because availability and priced combinations can change.
Review the full blade selection as one system. A groove changes the visual rhythm of the blade; polish affects its surface presentation; the edge choice affects handling responsibility; and an inscription should be checked character by character before checkout. The preview and saved configuration—not a generic product photograph—identify what you selected.
Tsuka, fittings and sayaBuild a coordinated mounting
The mounting choices bring most of the visible personality to a custom Wakizashi. Depending on current availability, the builder can include samegawa and its application style, tsuka-ito material, wrapping style, tsuba, seppa, habaki, fuchi and kashira, menuki, saya and sageo. Each category has a different role, but they should read as one composition when viewed together.
Use the large preview to compare colors and finishes after every major change. A simple method is to choose one dominant tone for the saya, one supporting tone for the handle and one metal finish that repeats across the fittings. The builder remains authoritative if a pictured example and a currently selectable option differ.

Bag is good quality
Good material, solid, holds the blade well
They have terrible communication. I’ve been trying to get information on my order for over a week now and no one can give me an update. They all keep telling me the same thing and now they’re not responding at all. I was so excited but the lack of communication and the worry about my order makes me very upset.
What a awesome company.. 👌 thank you Love it
Absolutely love it the design and detail is beautiful made

The katana arrived in perfect condition and looks even better than in the photos. The craftsmanship is excellent, the fittings are solid, and the blade is well finished. The packaging was secure, so everything arrived safely. The communication with the seller was good, although the shipping took a little longer than expected. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this store. Thank you!

Katana - Ghost of Tsushima: Jin Sakai's Blade 仁の刀(Manganese steel)
Absolutely amazing, ordered red wave for my girlfriend and Vergils nodachi yamato for myself. Im beyond amazed at the quality of these swords, they're built with immense care and they look stunning. Customer support were amazing with soothing my nerves about uk customs as well, and once we received news of it being sent out, we received it in 7 days. Will definitely be here again to buy more
I’m very pleased with my purchase, and I would order again. I would keep my expectations low on customer service, specifically contact and order status. Orders take a long time to arrive.
This isn't what I m into but my daughter loves it, like all your swords it's made really well with a nice fit and finish, keep up the good work
Demon Slayer Katana - Tokito Muichiro's Nichirin Sword 時透無一郎の日輪刀
Katana je fenomenalna, pre pre zadovoljan sam hvala
Yet again another sword which is so well made, the fit and finish is amazing and feels good in the hand and looks even better, took a little longer for delivery but I ordered two swords, this one and a demon slayer sword for my daughter. Really happy with both swords.
good sword
I collect Japanese swords, different types and from different dates. I have one that I have is a "Wakizashi Short Sword by Masakuni" dated 1836. So, I have an idea about the craftsman ship of the original masters. Your sword, meets or exceeds what the masters made. Sincerely, C.B. Clement
Coolest blade ever. Exact replica of Jin Sakais blade in The Ghost of Tshushmi. Amazing!!!
Katana - Ghost of Tsushima: Jin Sakai's Blade 仁の刀(1060steel)
Prima model. Past goed in elkaar. Mooie matte lak.
Great stuff I would recommend
Absolutely love it the details are smooth and perfect
Alles top!!
Onze zoon is helemaal over the moon met z’n Katana. De service was echt super. Kreeg heel snel antwoord op mijn vraag en ze waren erg hulpvaardig. Heel erg bedankt!!🙏🏼
Katana - Ghost of Tsushima: Jin Sakai's Blade 仁の刀(Manganese steel)
Wunderschön, sehr hochwertig gearbeitet, mit individueller Gravur ein tolles Geschenk
The Ghost of Yotei Gilded Night was the last sword for my 'Ghost' collection. The sword is awesome. My only observation is that as the Gilded Dawn and Gilded Night are as a pair carried by Takeza in the game, the Gilded Dawn is shiny, with a lacquer, but the Gilded Night is matt. Anyway, I'm extremely happy and love my collection.

Absolutely AWESOME folding work done by the smiths!
PHENOMENAL craftsmanship, sharp detail, feels strong in hand! Extremely thankful for this.
Very high quality heavy weight blade. Furnishing is spectacular. Comes with blade oiled and wrapped in polythene to protect the steel. The packaging is fantastic and the free gifts are cool as well.
Ein wirklich sehr schönes Kunstwerk zu einem unschlagbaren Preis, ich war beeindruckt *****
