Why Choose the ZB Knives Ballerina Katana
-
Real katana proportions. A 28-inch blade with a 10-inch handle gives the long, two-handed silhouette people expect from a katana, rather than a short novelty blade.
-
High carbon steel at HRC 58–60. This hardness range is a common target for katana-style blades, balancing edge hold with toughness.
-
Scabbard included. You don't need to buy a separate case to store or display it.
-
Custom orders available. We can engrave a name or logo. Message us before ordering.
-
Direct support. You can reach the shop by email or WhatsApp with questions before you buy.
Key Features and What They Mean for You
1. 28-inch high carbon steel blade High carbon steel is the traditional choice for Japanese-style swords. It takes a strong edge and polishes well, but it needs basic care to stay rust-free (see Care below).
2. Full tang construction [confirm with your maker before publishing] A full tang means the steel runs through the handle instead of stopping at the guard. Buyers search for this feature because it improves strength and balance.
3. Two-handed 10-inch grip The long handle (tsuka) allows a proper two-handed hold and shifts the balance point toward the hands.
4. Metal guard and rope-wrapped handle The tsuba protects the hand and gives the sword its classic profile. The wrapped handle adds grip and the traditional look.
5. Matching scabbard (saya) The sword ships with its own case, so it is ready to display or store.
6. Film-inspired styling The dark handle and clean lines nod to the sword style seen in recent action cinema, without copying any licensed prop.
Craftsmanship and Materials
Katana quality comes down to steel, geometry, and fittings. Here is what you are getting:
-
Blade: High carbon steel, hardness HRC 58–60. [Add: forged or machined, heat treatment method, polish, hamon yes/no.]
-
Fittings: Metal tsuba with traditional rope wrapping. [Add: tsuba material, rayskin or substitute under the wrap, peg (mekugi) count.]
-
Scabbard: Matching katana case. [Add: wood or other core, finish.]
Tip for your maker: competing specialist sword shops publish steel grade, heat-treatment method, hamon type, peg count, and handle-wrap material. Even two or three of these details would make your page more credible than most marketplace listings.
Who This Katana Is For

Collectors who like modern interpretations of Japanese swords.
-
Film fans who want a sword inspired by the Ballerina look.

We recommend this sword if you want a real-proportioned katana with a film-inspired look. If you need an officially licensed prop, buy it from the studio's licensed partners.
Care and Maintenance
High carbon steel is not stainless, so a little care keeps it looking sharp:
-
Wipe the blade with a soft cloth after every handling. Skin oils cause rust.
-
Apply a thin coat of sword or mineral oil if you plan to store it for weeks.
-
Store it in a dry room, ideally horizontally on a stand. Avoid damp basements and long-term airtight storage with moisture inside.
-
Never leave it inside the scabbard in a humid space for long periods.
-
Keep it away from children and handle it with respect.
