Katana Shirasaya Sword

$929.99

A simple and sleek Katana Shirasaya. 

An attractive, traditional collection piece and a practical, formidable weapon of war.

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 Shirasaya 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. 

The beautiful white, matching hardwood scabbard & handle material close seamlessly together, forming a flowing curved sword stick. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only practical to use, but also presents in a clean, traditional form.

This Shirasaya Katana sabre is deadly, and is executed with a minimalistic and classic aesthetic. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
