My story in blades
Born into a family of smiths. My grandfather forged spears and swords. I am the third to continue this craft.
About YAMAGATA
Yamagata — workshop of weapons and art objects.
From affordable replicas and anime katana to premium blades, armor and SanMai custom work. 100+ models in stock or a dream katana from $1400.
Yamagata crafts katana to the highest standards for collectors worldwide — from 18+ steel types. Smiths in Indonesia, China and Russia work exclusively for Yamagata.
Our smiths are like Caesar: they forge katanas — and in parallel, a mobile repair crew in Kyrgyzstan. Just kidding. Probably.
