I received my Katana and noticed that there is wax on the blade and inside the saya. Is this normal?

Yes, it is normal. There is wax inside the saya that makes the wood waterproof to protect the blade from moisture. Sometimes excess wax can stick to the blade, but it does not damage it.

To prevent the wax from sticking to the blade simply keep the blade well lubricated at all times.

Does this answer your question?
