Custom Katana
Build a custom katana by selecting from the options currently available for the blade, fittings, handle and saya. A custom order is made after checkout, so the current builder or quotation—not a general price or timing statement—defines the configuration for your order.
Plan the Sword Before You Order
Start with the overall design and the purpose of the collection. Then review each option as part of one complete build. Availability can change, and some combinations may need confirmation.
Blade
Review the available steel, blade geometry, dimensions, surface treatment, groove and edge options. The exact choice shown in the builder or confirmed quotation applies to the order.
Fittings
Compare tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, habaki and seppa as one visual set. Our parts guide explains the terminology.
Tsuka
Choose from the handle length, wrap, color and other options currently offered. Confirm any detail that is essential to the design.
Saya
Select the scabbard finish and related fittings from current choices. Colors and materials can look different across screens, so use current media as a visual reference.
Price, Production and Shipping
The current customizer or quotation determines the price. Production time is the period required before the completed order is handed to the carrier; shipping time begins after carrier acceptance. Timing depends on the chosen configuration and current order conditions, so review the information shown when ordering and keep order-specific updates in one support thread.
Destination availability, shipping charges, duties and local requirements vary. Read the current shipping policy and the information shown at checkout before placing the order.
Changes and Confirmation
If a design detail needs to change, contact NIMOFAN as soon as possible with the order number. Whether a change can be accepted depends on the production stage and the specific request. Photos, inscriptions, materials, dimensions, timing and other special requirements should be treated as order-specific only when they are confirmed for that order.
Returns and Custom Work
Custom or personalized products can have different return eligibility from standard products. Review the current refund policy and request clarification before ordering if return eligibility is important to the decision.
