Katana Damascus Steel Sword Clay Tempered

This is a Japanese Katana, the world's most beloved and renowned sword, used by the legendary samurai warriors. This particular piece is crafted using traditional folding methods alongside high-carbon Damascus Steel, creating diverse blade layers dancing across its edge. The Katana has undergone traditional clay tempering, yielding a harder edge and a genuine hamon.

The sword embodies a black and white motif, reflected in the very dark rayskin beneath the synthetic hineri-maki (style of cord wrap), as well as the dark matte-hued wooden scabbard. The shiny, polished blade presents a striking contrast with its mirror-like gleam. The fittings are cast from high-quality iron and brass, and the transparent handguard aids the user while slashing.

You can sharpen this Katana for cutting practice, or leave it unsharpened to practice Iaido safely. Alternatively, you could use it as decor to imbue your home with the legendary samurai aura.
