Product Description

This sword is forged using a laminated steel structure (458 jacket + T8 core), a method that combines a hard, sharp cutting edge with a resilient body—mirroring traditional Japanese sword-making philosophy.

The clay-tempered edge produces a real hamon, giving the blade both aesthetic beauty and functional performance.
With an edge hardness of HRC 58 and a softer, tougher body around HRC 35, the sword achieves an ideal balance of sharpness, strength, and shock absorption.

The traditional three-stage Japanese polishing highlights the blade geometry and hamon, while the gilded fittings, genuine ray skin, hishigami wrap, and buffalo-horn lacquered saya give the sword a luxurious and refined appearance. Every component—from the blade to the mountings—speaks to careful craftsmanship and premium material choice.

Weighing 1120 g with a 12 cm balance point, the handling is solid yet controlled, suitable for cutting practice, display, or collection.

A finely crafted laminated steel katana that blends performance, durability, and elegant aesthetics into one exceptional blade.
