A Japanese dragon sword Katana.
Prominently themed with the gold dragon, this Japanese dragon Samurai sword is a very powerful and formidable statement, representing the most celebrated of all mythological god-beasts, famous not only within Japanese Samurai society, but also widely revered throughout the greater far east.
Feared, yet respected and loved, the incredibly powerful dragon is drawn to great riches 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 T10 steel sword blade, forming a premium-quality and certainly a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre.
T10 steel is a modern, highly refined high-carbon steel, mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc. Its blade attributes include excellent toughness and hardness with a durable, sharp edge holding capacity, along with good blade elasticity and desirable resilience.
T10 is one of the highest carbon-content steels used for blade-smithing, and is arguably the best sword-making steel available for a functional combat sword.
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 lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with solid brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.
This Uchigatana sword saber is deadly, and executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
