Craft & Details

The Narrative

The Gilded Shogun is a 40.5-inch manifestation of this balance, hand-forged from elite 1095 high carbon steel. This steel is favored by our master smiths for its exceptional hardness and its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge through the most rigorous training. The blade is finished with a stunning gold-ion plating, creating a radiant presence that commands attention in any light. Featuring a traditional Shinogi Zukuri profile and a precision-carved Bohi (blood groove) for perfect balance and a swift, audible swing, this blade is forged for those who appreciate the Sovereign Standard of functional art. The ornate golden Tsuba, featuring intricate classical motifs, is paired with a vibrant red floral Tsuka-ito and a uniquely speckled "gold-dust" lacquered Saya, making this a centerpiece fit for a daimyo’s collection.

The hilt (Tsuka) is constructed with the same dedication to quality, featuring genuine ray skin (Samegawa) and a traditional wrap for a secure, comfortable grip during training or display. Secured by dual bamboo Mekugi, the full-tang construction ensures this Katana is fully functional and battle-ready. Every blade we send forth carries the weight of our family’s reputation, accompanied by a protective black sword bag to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition. Whether intended for cutting practice or as a gift for a like-minded friend, The Gilded Shogun stands as a testament to the artisan's touch.

The Care

To honor the 1095 carbon steel of The Gilded Shogun, one must treat it with constant care against the elements. After any handling, the blade must be meticulously wiped with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils that may lead to oxidation. We recommend a light application of traditional Choji oil or high-grade mineral oil every few weeks to maintain the gold finish and the steel's integrity. Avoid storing the blade in damp areas or in direct sunlight, which can stress the hand-lacquered wood of the Saya. By keeping the steel dry and lightly oiled, you ensure that the soul of this blade remains as sharp and vibrant as the day it left our forge.

Frequently asked questions

Why are your pieces made to order?

Because attention cannot be divided.

By creating each piece only when it is chosen,

we maintain full control over quality, detail, and outcome.

Production begins only after your order is placed, allowing us to focus entirely on the piece being created - without compromise.

How long does it take to make a piece?

Each piece requires time to be properly shaped, finished, and inspected.

Typical production time ranges from 14-21 working days, depending on the complexity of the design.

We do not rush this process.

Can I request customizations?

Yes. Select pieces may allow for subtle variations.

For more specific requests, you may contact us — and we will advise based on feasibility and integrity of the design.

How long does delivery take after production?

Once completed, delivery typically takes 14-20 business days, depending on your location.

Tracking details will be provided upon dispatch.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price in the checkout page, before you purchase.

We offer Complimentary Shipping on all orders above $2,000.

What materials do you use?

We work with carefully selected materials — including high-carbon steels, layered structures, and natural components such as wood and leather (depends on product).

Each material is chosen not only for performance, but for how it evolves over time.

Are your pieces functional or decorative?

Our pieces are created with structural integrity, balance, and intention.

They are not mass-produced decorative items.

While often collected for their presence and craftsmanship,

they are also appreciated for how they feel in hand —

through movement, handling, and controlled settings where form and balance can be fully experienced.

What is the return policy?

As each piece is made specifically for its owner,

we do not accept returns for change of mind.

However, if there is a genuine issue by production, we will address it directly.

If your piece arrives damaged or does not meet our standards, we will take responsibility and make it right.

Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right.

Can I cancel my order?

Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours before production begins.

After that, the process is already in motion.
