Barbed Katana — common questions
When was Barbed Katana last in the item shop?
Barbed Katana was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 24 September 2024. We've recorded 4 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does Barbed Katana cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Barbed Katana. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this pickaxe hasn't.
Can you still get Barbed Katana?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given pickaxe falls into.
What set is Barbed Katana part of?
Barbed Katana is part of the Chiton's Call set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
