Japanese Samurai Sword Katana

This black and red Japanese Katana will instill boldness, bravery, and a training fighting spirit in its wielder, courtesy of its highly regarded Japanese hawk motif. Composed of hardy 1095 high carbon steel, it has been traditionally polished with hazuya stone, quenched, and clay tempered to produce an authentic hamon line, enhancing its cutting edge's strength.

This hawk Katana is double-pegged for heightened overall stability. It features two sets of bohi (grooves) that reduce its weight, augment its handling attribute, and induce a tachikaze (sound feedback when slashing). The handle comprises a wooden core enveloped with rayskin and silk hineri-maki (cord wrap style). Its scabbard, on the other hand, is hardwood with a sheen and lacquer for added visual aesthetics. All the fittings are meticulously crafted from brass and copper. The sword is versatile, ideal for cutting practice, safe Iaido training, or as a home decor piece.
