The blades are full tang ‘battle ready’ and due to their immense quality can handle cutting bamboo, small trees, bones, iron and copper wire. A lot of time and effort goes into making these blades (2 months to be exact) with such quality, the polishing alone is a 25-30 day process by an experienced polisher resulting in a beautiful cloudy hamon. Swords of Northshire offers a line of premium hand crafted clay tempered tamahagane blades that are unmatched for their price range. What makes these blades so durable is their composition, the blades have a high carbon core to ensure optimal sharpness and ability to hold an edge, and are then encased in tough low carbon composite to reduce the brittleness of the blade. If you’ve already read my post on the “ types of katanas” you know Tamahagane blades are in my top choice for having a quality blade forged in the traditional Japanese methodology. Now let’s get into each of these katana swords in more depth… Best Katana Under $5,000 ( HIGHLY RECOMMEND)

Thaitsuki – Tonbo Sanmai <$3,000 <-ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

SON – Premium Tamahagane <$5,000 <- HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My personal list of the best katana swords on the market today will include

I’ll run through the best katana by price point, some of which you may have already noticed in my other katana reviews post. There are however some great katanas being produced in modern times under the old forging methods that are actually functional. To buy one of these katanas from the ancient times you would have one heck of a time finding one, and even if you do, you’ll be paying $20,000+ for an authentic katana from hundreds of years ago and the use beyond it being a wall hanger or museum piece now is practically nothing. I’ve browsed their site numerous times checking out all the ancient katana swords they have there and can’t wait for the day I actually get to go there in person. This place is probably number 1 on my bucket list. If anyone ever wants to see a ton of actual authentic katanas they need to check out the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo Japan. Whether it be to avenge a loved one’s death or to overthrow a dictator’s oppression on their people, these blades were meant for purposes beyond being a wall hanger or back yard cutter.

In ancient Japanese times these blades were forged with the utmost dedication and meant to be a life long companion to any Samurai. Sword from the Edo period in the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo I believe these are best not because of their durability, which actually in some cases at the time was inferior to modern katanas, but because they were the foundation forges to many great swords in production today and their purpose of being produced in that time was for much greater causes than those forged today. The best katana in my mind are the ones made hundreds of years ago, the Nihonto ( 日本刀, nihontō) blades, which means a ‘Japanese sword made in Japan by a Japanese swordsmith under the original forging methods’.
