Collector Stories: How I Found My Rare Katana
So I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we share how we found our rarest or most meaningful katanas. Mine was kind of unexpected — I stumbled upon it at a small antique shop while traveling in Vancouver. The owner didn’t even know much about it, but something about the craftsmanship caught my eye. I cleaned it up, and now it’s the centerpiece of my collection. Has anyone else found a gem in an unusual place?

That’s awesome! My favorite find wasn’t from an antique shop but online. I was browsing Mini Katana and found a limited-edition piece inspired by a samurai from a classic Japanese legend. It wasn’t expensive, but it had this unique design that felt special. I think sometimes it’s less about rarity and more about the story behind how you got it — those are the ones that stick with you.
