The package contains your katana(s), carefully wrapped and protected. If you selected the option, a certificate of authenticity (+$10) will also be included. On top of that, we include a complimentary Japanese fabric carrying bag (a $25 value) with every katana order. You can also add accessories like a stand, a cleaning kit, or a premium storage box to make the most of your collection.
Every katana is crafted only after you place your order. We never produce in advance and we don't keep finished katanas in stock. Once your order is confirmed, our artisans begin forging your sword specifically for you. Each piece is hand-forged in the purest Japanese tradition, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and rigorous quality control.
By not keeping katanas in storage, we preserve the purity of the materials, prevent any oxidation from prolonged storage, and deliver a freshly forged, authentic, and one-of-a-kind katana straight to you. After forging, our swords ship from Asia to offer the best balance between delivery times and cost.
Every katana in our store is hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Once your order is confirmed, processing typically takes 3 to 10 days before shipping.
Once shipped, delivery generally takes between 5 and 15 days. In rare cases, these timeframes may be extended. We do our best to guarantee fast and reliable delivery, but we can't promise an exact delivery date.
All of our swords are built with a Full Tang construction. We forge them so that the blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This design enhances both the strength and balance of the blade while honouring traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Given the unique nature of our katanas, we choose shipping methods designed to guarantee fast and secure delivery while minimizing the risk of customs delays. We typically ship via UPS, known for its reliability. If that option isn't available, we use our secondary partner SF Express to deliver your order under the best possible conditions.
Our team takes great care during the shipping process to minimize any risk of customs fees. In the vast majority of cases, our customers don't pay any additional charges.
That said, in very rare instances, customs authorities may apply import duties. These fees are the buyer's responsibility, as outlined in our Disclaimer. Rest assured, we do everything we can to ensure a fast, smooth, and hassle-free delivery.
No, buying an ordinary katana is generally legal in Canada. Katanas are not, simply because they are swords, classified as prohibited weapons under the Criminal Code. No federal sword licence, registration or background check is normally required. Our store sells only to buyers aged 18 or older who may legally possess the item; an adult signature may be required upon delivery. Individual weapons prohibition orders and local restrictions still apply.
You can display your katana at home, use it for supervised martial arts practice, or keep it as a collector's or display piece. However, carrying a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace or to commit an offence is prohibited, and the Criminal Code separately restricts carrying concealed weapons. For travel to a dojo, exhibition or cultural event, keep your sword sheathed and secured in a proper bag or case, out of immediate reach, and check the venue and local rules. A case or a purchase receipt does not by itself make every situation lawful. Certain disguised blades are prohibited; sword-canes are assessed according to their design and dimensions, rather than being automatically banned.
