Sharpened Katana

Every functional sword we sell is ordered with an edge option: hand sharpened for cutting practice, or unsharpened for display, collection and training where a live edge is not wanted or not legal at the destination. This page collects the listings where that choice is offered, so you can compare blades knowing the edge is your decision rather than a fixed feature.

Sharpening is done at the workshop before dispatch. The blade geometry, steel and polish are the same either way; the difference is whether the edge is finished to cut. If you are choosing between the two, our guide on how to sharpen a katana explains what a sharpened edge needs from you afterwards.

Check the product page for the exact edge options and any destination restrictions before ordering; where a listing does not offer an option, the edge state stated on that page applies.
