Other desertcart sellers could really learn from these guys. The price soeaks for itself, honestly i couldve been fooled into believing that its a 1000 dollar katana. Beautiful showpiece, would recommend buying a stand for display.

If so how many layers?** A: Swords are forged by traditional way with new technology (such as machine pounding on raw material...) also are folded during forging but do not trace how many times been folded because the folding procedure depends on the purity of materials and swordsmiths. Thank you. **Q: Are these blades qualified for live steel combat?** A: I am not sure that I would use the term qualified. I didn't receive any such certification. But I have sparred with my sword, and it handles well, without breaking under duress. **Q: I have the cherry blossom katana, it was gifted to me by a friend years ago. is there a tanto version? i'm ordering the wakizashi soon!** A: Thank you for your question. The tsuba of this Kantana is Tomoe crest with cherry blossom design on it. We do not have the exact matched Tanto but one with a plain black Tomoe crest tsuba, without the cherry blossom design. However, it is currently out of stock. **Q: Can you swap out the black scabbard for a white one?** A: We are sorry that we do not provide this service. Thank you for your understanding. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One word: amazing. *by J***N on April 20, 2020* This katana from handmade sword is really an incredible work of art. Shipping was lightning fast. I bought the cherry blossom design. Now into the critique. The craftsmanship is beautiful. The blade came out of the saya very sharp. The packaging was some of the best ive ever seen from an amazon seller. Cardboard tube into cardboard tube into a box with packing material. Other amazon sellers could really learn from these guys. The price soeaks for itself, honestly i couldve been fooled into believing that its a 1000 dollar katana. Beautiful showpiece, would recommend buying a stand for display. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buyit *by H***K on May 30, 2025* Buyit especialle ### ⭐⭐⭐ HM.Sword *by O***R on November 16, 2024* The blade has some cutting marks like hair scuffs that look large and not finished nor polished. The round box is missing a white plastic cap from factory but it is okay, but the wood scabbard is cracked and damaged upon unboxing. It is a good value when it is on the 50$ range compared to the defects. Give this a chance it is well put together with some defects to be expected of course. ## Frequently Bought Together - Handmade Sword - Japanese Samurai Katana Swords, Practical, Hand Forged, 1045 Carbon Steel, Heat Tempered, Full Tang, Sharp, Cherry Blossom Tomoe Crest Tsuba, Black Wooden Scabbard - Katana Cleaning Kit - Maintenance Set with Sword Choji Oil - Care for Samurai Japanese Ninja Katanas Swords Knives - Birthday Gift for Men and Women - Stocking Stuffers - BladesUSA WS-1SC Sword Stand Single Horizontal Wood Display Stand,black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/8437968-cherry-blossom-katana-1045-carbon-steel-hand-forged-full-tang](https://www.desertcart.us/products/8437968-cherry-blossom-katana-1045-carbon-steel-hand-forged-full-tang) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
