FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What gives this Waves Katana its identity?
The Waves fittings are the lead visual cue and separate the page from crane, dragon, flower, or warrior themes.
How does the black saya affect the look?
The black saya keeps the overall presentation darker while letting the wave-themed fittings carry the detail.
What should buyers compare nearby?
Compare Waves fittings, black saya, 1045 carbon steel, and full Katana proportions against other 1045 pages.
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 โ a minute of care after each session keeps the blade in condition indefinitely.
What makes the scabbard (saya) on this katana special?
The saya on this katana is painted with a willow and flower design on black lacquered wood. The weeping willow (yanagi โ ๆณ) and seasonal blossoms appear together frequently in Japanese decorative arts as a pairing that captures natural beauty at its most transient: the willow's drooping branches and the blossoms' brief flowering both speak to impermanence (mono no aware โ ็ฉใฎๅใ), the Japanese aesthetic awareness of beauty inseparable from its fleeting nature. The design is rendered in two tones โ warm gold for the willow branches and red-orange for the blossoms โ against the black lacquer ground, creating a layered, seasonal composition across the full length of the saya.
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.
