The Ōchō 王朝 Katana captures the essence of historical grandeur and the art of traditional Japanese sword-making.
Blade (刀身): T10 steel is chosen for its high carbon content, giving the blade outstanding hardness. The hamon visible on the blade is not only decorative; it reflects traditional differential hardening, giving the blade a flexibility that resists wear. The mirror polish gives the blade a striking look, making it a fine piece for display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved brass tsuba depicts the Great Wave off Kanagawa, a powerful symbol of strength and perseverance. Brass is recognised for its durability and timeless look, fitting the theme and spirit of this sword.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wood of the saya offers protection and elegance. The lacquer not only embellishes but also protects the wood from the elements, helping keep your katana safe from moisture and outside damage.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The solid wood of the handle gives a sturdy structure, while the ray-skin leather provides a grippy surface for a better hold. These materials are known for their longevity and resistance to wear.
The Ōchō 王朝 Katana is a fine option for beginner collectors, or for those who wish to add a touch of Japanese nobility to their home.

Magnificent katana at an affordable price, very beautiful blade, good grip, no play, however a slight drop in visual quality on the scabbard. Count on a month between order and receipt. Very beautiful piece that will soon adorn my bedroom. I regret not having taken a stand at the same time. However the blade looked different in the photos on the site but I'm not disappointed with the final result I warmly recommend!
