This classic Katana design boasts a 9.5″ overall length with a 27″ sharpened, hand-forged, 1060 clay-tempered high carbon steel blade. It features a full tang, double pegged for stability, with metal fittings finished in black and adorned with an intricate dragon motif. The grip is wrapped in comfortable black cotton braid ito. Despite a 7mm thick spine, the sword’s exceptional balance makes it feel remarkably agile. It comes with a wooden saya finished in black lacquer, housed in a brocade box complete with a table stand, maintenance kit, and sleeve. We are thoroughly impressed with this line; it’s a beautiful piece offered at an exceptional value.
