About HanBon Forge

Custom Katana Manufacturer Since 2007

HanBon Forge is a direct manufacturer specializing in custom handmade Japanese swords, including katanas, wakizashi, tanto, Chinese swords, and anime-inspired replica swords.

Founded in 2007, our workshop has dedicated years to the craft of traditional sword making while making high-quality custom swords accessible to collectors, martial artists, and enthusiasts around the world.

Unlike resellers or dropshipping stores, every sword from HanBon Forge is designed, forged, assembled, and finished by our own craftsmen, ensuring full control over quality, detail, and customization.

Our Craftsmanship

Each sword is carefully handcrafted through a multi-step traditional process:

Steel selection and preparation
Forging and blade shaping
Heat treatment and hardening
Grinding and polishing
Tsuka (handle) assembly and wrapping
Saya (scabbard) fitting and finishing
Final inspection and balance adjustment

We combine traditional sword-making techniques with modern quality control to ensure every blade meets the expectations of collectors and practitioners.

Fully Customizable Swords

One of the core strengths of HanBon Forge is full customization.

Customers can design their own sword by choosing:

Blade steel (1060, 1095, T10, folded steel, clay tempered, etc.)
Blade length and geometry
Hamon style and polish finish
Tsuka (handle) wrap style and color
Samegawa (ray skin) color
Tsuba and fittings
Saya design and color
Sageo style
Custom engraving

This allows every customer to create a sword that is truly unique and personal.
