Zoro Katana (One Piece) - キケツ

Wield Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu Katana, the cursed blade of One Piece legend

This Zoro Katana replica is a tribute to one of the most iconic and feared swords in the One Piece universe: the Sandai Kitetsu. Known as one of the 50 skillfully crafted Grade swords (Ryō Wazamono), the Sandai Kitetsu is not just a blade, it’s a cursed heirloom. This katana earned its sinister reputation for allegedly bringing doom upon its wielder… and yet, Roronoa Zoro wields it with confidence, proving his mastery, bravery, and willpower.

Introduced during the Loguetown arc, the Sandai Kitetsu chose Zoro as its rightful wielder when he challenged the curse head-on by tossing the blade into the air and extending his arm, a moment that cemented his status as a fearless swordsman. This replica captures the essence of that very sword, combining anime accuracy with traditional craftsmanship.

Crafted from 1060 high-carbon steel, the blade features a straight hamon (temper line) design reminiscent of the jagged aura that represents its cursed energy. It’s unsharpened for safety but weighted and balanced like a real katana (~1.2 kg), making it ideal for kata, cosplay, or display. The full length is ~103 cm, perfectly matching Zoro’s anime specifications.

A cursed sword with a legacy of danger and skill

The tsuba (guard) is cast in a matte brass tone, shaped with a twin-looped guard style that’s unique to the Sandai Kitetsu. It provides both function and flare, echoing its dangerous lineage. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in blood-red ito over black faux ray skin, creating the signature diamond pattern seen throughout Zoro’s arsenal, a sharp contrast that symbolizes blood and resolve.

The saya (scabbard) is a deep crimson lacquer, segmented with black rings and capped in brass details. A replica of the sword stand-ready sheath carried by Zoro himself, it gives the katana a regal yet ominous appearance. This red is no accident, in many sword traditions, red scabbards signify bloodlust, war, or divine punishment, all fitting symbols for the cursed legacy of the Kitetsu line.

The Sandai Kitetsu is the third and weakest of the cursed Kitetsu swords, following the Nidai and Shodai Kitetsu. Despite this, Zoro's ability to tame its power, and wield it alongside Wado Ichimonji and Enma, shows his ability to turn even danger into strength. Owning this blade is like owning a fragment of Zoro’s evolution as a swordsman.

This One Piece katana replica is a must-have for fans of the Straw Hat swordsman. Whether you’re looking to complete a full Zoro three-sword style (Santoryu) set or showcase a piece with deep lore and aesthetic power, this blade delivers.
