A high quality katana by Hanwei featuring traditional fittings. This one costs over $1,000.
Since many people have been looking for traditional-looking katana swords, I decided to make a page about it as well. Many of today’s samurai swords are overly decorative, but if you’re looking for something more authentic and traditional you can easily find it.
Unlike the sword in the image above, you can actually get a traditional katana for a much lower price. For example, Musashi or Masahiro samurai katana are very affordable and battle-ready, so they won’t only be used for display purposes. The selection of traditional samurai swords below should also be a good place for your search for the perfect sword.
