Furthermore, the blade is genuine clay tempered – producing a visible Hamon line, and finally hand sharpened using traditional Japanese methods.
The accessories & fittings are high quality and in character, from the hardwood + ray-skin handle, hardwood scabbard, to the solid brass sword fittings.
This full tang Katana is flexible, very strong and glides through the air with ease. It’s a real pleasure to use and is both strong and sharp enough to cut thick bamboo stems, grass matting & more.
