Blade Customization Options

The blade is the heart of every katana. With YariNoHanzo you can choose from different construction methods, blade shapes and technical details.

  • Kobuse Kitae – a traditional composite structure designed for strength and flexibility.
  • Soshu Kitae – a complex multi-layered construction inspired by classical Japanese swordsmithing.
  • Honsanmai Kitae – a balanced structure combining a hard cutting edge with a resilient body.
  • Custom hamon – choose the temper line style that best matches your sword design.
  • Bohi options – select no bohi, single bohi or double bohi depending on weight, balance and use.
  • Blade dimensions – customize length, width and thickness according to your preferences.

Personalized Koshirae and Sword Fittings

A true personalized katana is not only about the blade. The koshirae defines the character, balance and visual identity of the sword.

  • 62 tsuba designs to match traditional, elegant or aggressive styles.
  • 38 fuchi and kashira sets to complete the handle fittings.
  • 19 tsukaito colors in different materials and styles.
  • Traditional hishigami tsukamaki for a secure and refined handle wrap.
  • Premium saya options with lacquered finishes and real buffalo horn details.
