This high-performance katana uses the ancestral traditional Japanese process of folding, forging, quenching and polishing. Of very high value, it suits those who wish to own a true master's katana.
The guard is in copper, sculpted with silver and gold details, and the sageo shows off the scabbard beautifully. The hamon is revealed by the master's hand polishing.

This katana, an expression of ancestral Japanese craftsmanship, is a piece of high value for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of martial arts culture. Every element of this katana is forged and polished by hand, reflecting the commitment of master smiths to the art of traditional Kobuse forging.
Blade
The 71 cm blade is forged in T10 steel with a distinctive Damascus hamon, made visible by meticulous polishing. The cross polishing of the grey blade evokes the precision and crispness expected of a master's katana.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The guard is a pure masterpiece in copper, enhanced with silver and gold details that embody the finesse of Japanese art. This tsuba is more than a protection; it is a centrepiece that tells a story of tradition and dedication.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered solid wood scabbard is both sober and elegant. The carefully braided sageo shows off the beauty of the saya, completing the whole with harmony and distinction.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The handle is covered in rayskin, offering a firm grip and a rich texture. This finish is not only practical but also a symbol of prestige and respect for ancestral techniques.

First of all I want to say that the product arrived very quickly. Communication with the site is responsive. As for the katana, it is the second one I've ordered from the site. The first katana (mid-range) was perfect. And that is why I ordered a second one. As for this one, I was a bit surprised at first.
