Discover Authentic Japanese Katana: Quality Meets Tradition

For centuries, the katana has symbolized the soul of the samurai—an elegant weapon forged not just in steel, but in tradition, discipline, and mastery. At Yarinohanzo, we honor that legacy by crafting and curating authentic Japanese-style katana for today’s martial artists, collectors, and connoisseurs.
Our mission is clear: to offer high-quality, battle-ready swords that reflect the essence of Nihonto, while meeting the practical needs of modern practice—be it in the dojo, the cutting stand, or private display.
Battle-Ready Performance Meets Traditional Aesthetics
Every Yarinohanzo katana is a functional blade—shinken, forged for real use, not just decoration. Whether you’re looking for a katana for tameshigiri (cutting practice), Iaido kata, or traditional martial arts like Kenjutsu, our swords are built to perform.
Key features include:
- High-carbon steel blades with full tang construction
- Differentially hardened edges (hamon) or through-hardened options
- Carefully balanced geometry for effective and safe cuts
- Traditional fittings (koshirae) and tsuka maki wrapping styles
- Available in multiple lengths, styles, and customization levels
Our collection includes both entry-level cutting swords and high-end hand-forged katana, each tested and refined to meet the expectations of real practitioners.

Made With Precision, Backed by Martial Experience
What sets Yarinohanzo apart is not just the quality of the steel—but the depth of understanding behind the design. Our team includes long-time martial artists, instructors, and sword enthusiasts who know what a katana should feel like in the hands.
Each model is developed through testing, feedback, and refinement to ensure:
- Proper balance and handling
- Reliable cutting ability
- Durable fittings and materials
- Respect for traditional aesthetics and historical context
From the blade curvature to the ito (handle wrap) tension, everything is chosen with purpose.
