Japanese Samurai Swords for Sale UK

Japanese Swords and Katana Blades

Katana, Wakizashi and Tanto

This collection brings together every Japanese sword we carry. Full length katana with curved blades over 60cm, wakizashi companion swords for close quarters, and tanto short blades for display or as part of a traditional daisho pair. The daisho was the paired katana and wakizashi carried by Japanese warriors as a symbol of rank and readiness. We stock individual katana swords as well as matched wakizashi and tanto to build your own samurai sword collection.

Steel Types and Forging

Our handmade katana range uses high carbon steel in 1060 and 1095 grades. The Minamoto collection features clay tempered blades with a visible hamon temper line, full tang construction through the handle, and folded steel layering for strength. These are forged using traditional Japanese techniques and balanced for cutting practice and tameshigiri (test cutting on tatami mats). For collectors who want the look without the edge, our stainless steel range offers the same visual detail at a lower price point.

Functional Blades vs Samurai Display Swords

We carry both functional and decorative Japanese swords. Functional katana are built from sharpened hand forged steel, suitable for martial arts training in disciplines like iaido and kenjutsu. Our samurai display swords focus on visual accuracy and build quality rather than a working edge. A decorative samurai sword set makes a strong wall piece or shelf display, and every sword in this collection includes a scabbard. Many come with a certificate of authenticity or a display stand. If you are unsure which type suits you, get in touch and we can advise.

Anime and Fantasy Katana

Beyond traditional Japanese weaponry, we stock katana swords inspired by popular anime series including Demon Slayer, One Piece, Bleach, and Final Fantasy. We also carry fantasy samurai sword designs with unique fittings and blade styles. These replica blades are built for display and capture the look of the on-screen weapons in full size metal construction. For the full anime range, see our dedicated anime swords section. Our samurai memorabilia collection extends beyond swords into related collectibles and display pieces.
