Katana 1095 Carbon Steel Sword Samurai Dragon Kobuse Blade

This beautiful Katana sword, featuring a dragon motif, is based on the edged weapons used by the legendary Samurai warriors. It symbolizes bravery, power, loyalty, and respect. The sword is made out of quality 1095 high carbon steel. It has undergone proper quenching and heat-treating procedures, as well as traditional clay tempering, to produce a genuine hamon and achieve ideal hardness levels. The steel has been further polished with a Hazuya stone, giving it a bright, mirror-like shine and enhancing the presentation of the hamon.

The sword features a double-pegged full tang tucked under a wooden core. This core is tightly wrapped in ray skin with a silk Katate-maki or cord wrap style, allowing for a very firm grip. The scabbard of the sword is made from ringed wood, providing protection from rust and other environmental hazards. The fittings of the sword are constructed from brass and copper, each engraved and opulently decorated with a Japanese dragon motif.

If sharpened, this Katana proves an ideal tool for Tameshigiri or cutting practice. If kept unsharpened, it is a dojo practitioner's best friend for Iaido. Regardless of its use, this Katana serves as an ideal decorative piece, bringing the tradition of the Japanese Samurai into one's home.
