FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this Dancing Crane Katana distinct?
The long-handle profile changes the proportion cue, while Dancing Crane fittings carry the main visual identity.
How does 1080 carbon steel fit?
It is the confirmed material point and separates this page from nearby 1045 carbon steel Katana listings.
What can buyers compare first?
Compare the Dancing Crane theme, long-handle proportion, 1080 carbon steel, and full Katana category.
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.
