Description & Specifications

This is Hi-Kage — a full-length katana sword forged from high manganese steel, blending performance and aesthetics in perfect balance. Featuring a striking crimson lacquered saya and a traditional black tsuka with vivid red rayskin underlay, this blade makes an unforgettable impression both in motion and at rest.

The blade is clay-quenched and hand-polished through fifteen meticulous grinding steps, with a real yokote at the kissaki. While it is not clay-tempered in the traditional hamon style, the steel’s toughness and the curved profile make it ideal for cutting practice or collection.

Whether you're drawn to the elegance of a Japanese katana or its presence in martial arts, Hi-Kage offers the spirit of the samurai in a robust, accessible form.

The katana is exquisitely crafted with superb precision. I would particularly like to highlight the attention to detail. The intricate workmanship creates a complete look and conveys the feel of a truly high-quality product. Delivery to Germany went smoothly and arrived on time.

Gift - Katana Holder

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.

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.

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.

Customer photo review of Katana – T10 Clay Tempered Blade with Red Saya 緋炎

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.

Katana – T10 Clay Tempered Blade with Red Saya 緋炎

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
