Falling Petals Snow – Hand Forged 1045 Carbon Steel Katana Sword
$139.99
Falling Petals Snow (落花吹雪) borrows its name from the Japanese literary image of cherry blossoms blown like snowflakes — a symbol of beauty, impermanence, and the samurai spirit. This hand-forged katana carries that aesthetic in its clean lines and refined finish.
The 72cm blade is forged from 1045 carbon steel in shinogi-zukuri geometry, tempered for even hardness. Alloy fittings and a cotton ito wrap provide secure handling, while the solid wood saya with piano lacquer finish completes the presentation. At 102cm overall and 1,040g bare weight, this is a standard full-size katana with comfortable balance.
The Falling Petals Snow is crafted for buyers who connect with the poetry of the blade — who see a katana not just as steel and wood but as a continuation of a tradition where every sword was given a name that meant something.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the name Falling Petals Snow mean?
落花吹雪 (Rakka Fubuki in Japanese reading) describes cherry blossoms being blown through the air like snow. It’s a classical literary image associated with both beauty and the warrior’s acceptance of life’s impermanence — a deeply traditional sword name.
How should I maintain this katana?
Apply a thin coat of camellia oil (choji oil) after each handling. Store horizontally in the saya in a dry environment. The piano lacquer saya needs only a soft cloth wipe to maintain its finish.
Is the blade sharp out of the box?
Our katanas ship with a factory edge suitable for display and light cutting. For serious cutting practice, we recommend professional sharpening to your preferred geometry.
