FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this Crane Katana distinct?
The black mother-of-pearl style saya gives the Crane theme a darker inlay-led direction.
How does it compare with the red raden Crane page?
This page reads darker, while the red raden Crane page gives buyers a brighter color option with a related inlay direction.
What can buyers compare first?
Compare Crane tsuba, black mother-of-pearl style 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.
