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 minimising 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 minimise 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 a katana is not illegal in Australia, but rules vary significantly from one state or territory to another. Katanas are classified as controlled or prohibited weapons depending on the state, and purchase is restricted to adults 18 and older, with an adult signature generally required upon delivery.

In NSW, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT, you can freely buy and own a katana without a permit. In Victoria and South Australia (since 1 July 2025), the rules are stricter and a Prohibited Weapons Permit or exemption may be required, particularly for active possession or transport.

That said, we can share our own experience: we have already shipped many katanas to customers in these stricter states, and to this day, none of them have reported any issue receiving or keeping their katana. Of course, it remains essential to store your katana responsibly at home, avoid any public transport or display, and never use it inappropriately. Each customer remains responsible for complying with their local state regulations.

We completely understand that many customers would love to see and handle a katana before buying — that's totally fair. However, we don't have a physical store yet.

That's why we put a real focus on detailed photos, precise descriptions, and all the information you need to shop online with complete confidence. Product quality is our top priority, even from a distance.
