Beautiful Katana

Feared, yet respected and loved, the incredibly powerful dragon is drawn to great riches, treasure and is a figure of uncompromising strength. The meaning of such a symbol can be translated to great wealth, power and total dominance.

Equipped with a folded steel blade, which is a hammer-welded mixture of 1095 & 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel, 1045 soft steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword-making steel available.

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat sword blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. 

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay-tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced Japanese sword-making technology and visibly identifiable on this Shinken sword blade. 

Completed with a hardwood, wrapped with stingray-skin scabbard, quality sword fittings, and a hardwood, wrapped with stingray-skin & silk-cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
