This 41" handmade samurai katana embodies centuries of Japanese sword-making tradition through its folded Damascus steel construction and full tang design. The blade features authentic clay tempering that creates a distinctive hamon temper line, while multiple folding operations purify the steel for exceptional durability. Traditional components include genuine ray skin samegawa wrapped with black cord ito, a copper tsuba engraved with wave motifs, and red sageo complementing the black hardwood saya finished with natural lacquer. Suitable for martial arts training in Kenjutsu or Iaido, this katana serves both as a functional practice tool and a collector's piece that honors samurai heritage through masterful craftsmanship.
