Product Description

This sword is built with top-tier materials and full traditional craftsmanship, offering a configuration rarely found in its class: stainless steel cast fittings, true yokote, mirror polish, hishigami wrap, and a buffalo-horn lacquered saya—all features typically reserved for high-end, custom-grade blades.

Forged from 60Si2Mn premium spring steel, the blade delivers strong cutting performance with high elasticity and impact toughness, while the polished finish and true yokote emphasize its refined geometry.

The cast stainless steel mountings offer superior structural strength and will not rust, oxidize, or lose color, making them ideal for long-term durability and collection value.

This model is larger and heavier than standard katana, offering a commanding presence and powerful handling.
