FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is this different from Crane Black?
The Dancing Crane theme gives the page a different visual identity, even though both sit in a black-saya Katana comparison group.
How does 1060 carbon steel fit?
It is the confirmed material point and separates the page from nearby 1045 carbon steel Katana listings.
What can buyers compare first?
Compare Dancing Crane fittings, 1060 carbon steel, black saya, and full Katana format.
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.
