The blade, measuring an exacting 26.125 inches, is pure, hand-forged elegance. Made from two twisted billets of Damascus steel—1095 and 15n20—it features a strikingly bold hamon, achieved through a traditional clay and water quenching process. This isn’t just a katana; it’s a symphony of strength, sharpness, and aesthetic beauty.
The handle (tsuka) is equally impressive. A generous 10.5 inches from Fuchi to Tsuba, it’s wrapped in synthetic silk over authentic stingray skin, delivering a perfect blend of tradition, durability, and comfort. The overall length of 38 inches and a well-balanced weight of 2.4 pounds ensure this katana is as nimble in your hands as it is commanding in its presence.
Every detail is considered, from the included Saya, which protects your blade with elegance, to the protective bag that ensures this treasure remains pristine for years to come.
Whether you’re a collector, a martial artist, or someone who simply appreciates the artistry of custom-forged steel, this katana will speak to your soul—and command the respect it deserves.
