FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does this compare with the 1045 Wave Katana?
This page uses 1080 carbon steel, giving buyers a clear material step from 1045 Wave listings.
What visual cue leads the page?
Wave fittings provide the named theme, while the black lacquer saya keeps the overall look restrained.
What can buyers compare first?
Compare Wave fittings, 1080 carbon steel, black lacquer saya, and full Katana profile.
How do I maintain the blade?
Wipe dry after handling or use. Apply a light coat of choji or mineral oil along the full blade length before storing. Carbon steel will develop surface rust if left wet or unprotected β a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
How do I know the quality is genuine?
Every sword is individually inspected and adjusted before leaving our California warehouse. We check edge geometry, fitment of all components, and the security of the mekugi pegs before packing. If anything is not right, it does not ship.
