Product Description

This blade features a specialized compact geometry that closely reflects the silhouette and handling of a real Japanese live blade.
At this price point, it is simply in a class of its own on the market.

The new full set of fittings is custom-designed to match the 2.8-cm blade width, ensuring a unified, elegant, and cohesive appearance. Every component follows the same motif, giving the entire sword a premium, intentional visual identity.

Craftsmanship is refined and precise—far beyond what is typically found in this price range. The overall fit, finish, and tactile quality rival products priced ten times higher, delivering performance capable of standing beside authentic Japanese shinken.

Forged 60Si2Mn manganese steel with proper tempering provides excellent strength and elasticity. Combined with the clamshell edge geometry, the blade can withstand heavy impact and is fully capable of chopping hard materials without deformation.

Weighing just 780 g with a 10 cm balance point, the handling is exceptionally agile.
Even beginners can control this sword with confidence, achieving fast, accurate movements with ease.

A compact, high-performance, true-cutting blade—crafted for practitioners who demand both authenticity and capability.
