Tiger&Lion Koshirae Forged Katana Sword

This red Japanese Katana sword with a tiger and lion motif on its fittings will ward off bad and negative energy while protecting its user from harm. The full tang double-pegged blade, crafted from 1095 high carbon steel and laminated in the Maru (single steel) method, offers enhanced durability for cutting. The blade undergoes a process of polishing, quenching, and traditional clay-tempering to offer a harder edge, complete with a genuine hamon.

The handling quality of the Katana is improved via its historically accurate rough rayskin and tight silk tsuka-maki wrap. The lack of bohi (groove) allows for greater impact during slashing. The reliable scabbard, crafted from quality Hualee wood, offers protection, while the brass and copper lion and tiger fittings add to its charm. This Katana, which can be either sharpened or unsharpened, is suitable for activities ranging from safe Iaido to abusive Tameshigiri (cutting practice).
