Why do people buy katanas? Honestly — because they're cool.
Some want to train. Some just want it on the wall. Some just love the feeling of holding something timeless.
At NIMOFAN Katana, we get it. Whether you're a collector, a martial artist, or just a fan of sharp things — you're welcome here.
Why We Forge
We don’t chase mass production. We care about meaning.
Each katana is hand-forged, not to impress a machine, but to satisfy real people — people who care about weight, curve, and purpose.
It’s not just a blade — it’s a feeling. We're here to make sure that feeling is real.
How & Where We Forge
Our katanas are the result of collaboration across cultures.
Design and guidance come from Hiroshi Sato in Seki City, Japan — a region famous for its sword-making legacy. Sato-san defines the visual and structural standards of every blade to stay true to Japanese tradition.
The forging happens in Longquan, China — where each blade is made to order, by hand, with no shortcuts.
It’s All in the Details
Every fold of steel, every polish, every balance check — it’s all done by hand.
Because true craftsmanship can’t be rushed.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Ryze. I’ve always been obsessed with blades — from European longswords to Chinese tang swords, and of course, the katana.
That passion led me to Japan, and to Hiroshi Sato — a craftsman whose approach changed how I saw swords forever.
We’re not a big brand. Just real people who love what we do. And we hope you feel that in every piece we create.
