FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What gives this Aeolus Katana its identity?
The Aeolus tsuba sets the theme, and the black piano-lacquered saya carries a hand-painted wind god and cloud motif that continues it along the scabbard.
How does 1045 carbon steel fit?
It is the confirmed material point and keeps the listing comparable with other standard Katana pages.
What can buyers compare first?
Compare the Aeolus tsuba, the hand-painted black lacquer saya, 1045 carbon steel, and full Katana proportions.
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.
