Tradition Meets Modern Mastery
Every YariNoHanzo sword is born from the fusion of centuries-old Japanese sword-making tradition and modern innovation. Our blades are designed for practitioners, collectors, and enthusiasts who value precision, harmony, and authenticity.
Each sword is assembled using traditional methods, no bolts, no shortcuts, only genuine craftsmanship that honors the samurai spirit.
From the choice of steel and blade geometry to the fine details of the tsuka, tsuba, and saya, every aspect reflects care and expertise.
Our artisans ensure perfect balance, durability, and beauty in each piece, whether it’s a battle-ready katana or a lightweight iaito designed for iaido kata.
With our exclusive custom katana configurator, you can design your sword exactly as you envision it. Choose the steel type, forging method, hamon style, blade length, curvature, fittings, and scabbard finish.
Each katana is built to your personal specifications — a one-of-a-kind creation that expresses your individuality and respect for Japanese tradition.
Every custom katana is a real weapon, forged with a full tang for safety and durability, and assembled using authentic mekugi pegs for traditional disassembly. Whether you want a folded steel katana, a Soshu-style blade, or a minimalist modern design, YariNoHanzo transforms your concept into reality.
Our iaito collection is designed for martial artists who demand precision and balance.
Each blade replicates the look and feel of a real katana, yet remains unsharpened and safe for iaido practice.
The lightweight structure ensures smooth drawing, control, and effortless kata execution, ideal for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
We offer a wide range of iaito swords, from entry-level models to high-end performance blades. Every iaito is perfectly balanced, with a well-proportioned bohi that reduces weight while enhancing stability and producing a clear tachikaze sound during swings.
The combination of a realistic blade, authentic fittings, and traditional tsuka wrapping makes each sword a reliable and elegant training partner.
The Higo Koshirae Iaito is a top-quality lightweight training sword, perfectly balanced and designed exclusively for the art of Iaido. Its 1060 high-carbon steel blade with bohi and suguha hamon produces a deep, resonant tachikaze — ideal for kata precision. Featuring a traditional Higo-style koshirae, real ray skin, and black cotton tsukaito with hishigami, this iaito offers both authenticity and performance. Hand-assembled with full-tang construction and two mekugi, it ensures safety, control, and harmony in every movement.
Inspired by the legendary samurai leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this katana embodies power, mastery, and resilience. Forged from T10 high-carbon steel and clay tempered to reveal a vivid midare hamon, the Toyotomi Katana delivers exceptional sharpness and cutting performance. Its minimalist koshirae — featuring blue Japanese cotton wrap, black ray skin, and an elegant wave-motif tsuba — reflects the balance between refinement and strength. A collector’s masterpiece and a warrior’s blade, the Toyotomi Katana honors Japan’s enduring samurai spirit.
The Hashiba Iaito combines traditional aesthetics with precision performance for dedicated Iaido practitioners. Crafted from 1060 high-carbon steel with a single bohi for agility and a powerful tachikaze, it offers perfect balance and feedback during kata. The etched midare hamon and red Japanese silk tsukaito over real ray skin create a striking and authentic look. Lightweight, elegant, and perfectly tuned, the Hashiba Iaito is a reliable companion for both beginners and advanced martial artists seeking the true feeling of a Japanese sword.
