Embrace a piece of living history with this masterfully crafted Japanese Samurai Sword Katana. A testament to centuries of tradition, this sword embodies the spirit and artistry of the samurai, distinguished by its striking black saya, black cord handle, and a unique brass eagle Tsuba. This is more than a weapon; it is an authentic work of art designed for the discerning practitioner and collector.
The soul of this katana lies in its full tang folded steel blade, expertly hand-forged by seasoned swordsmiths. The blade undergoes a meticulous clay tempering process, followed by a water quench, which produces a genuine, visible Hamon line. This differential hardening gives the blade its renowned combination of a hard edge and a resilient spine, a hallmark of superior Japanese sword-making.
Constructed for balance and durability, the full tang design ensures the blade and handle are a single, solid piece of steel. This provides exceptional strength and control, making it a reliable tool for martial arts training. The edge has been carefully hand-honed through traditional methods, honoring the legacy of the samurai.
