Mini Katana Sword

Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for swordsmithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.

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 sword’s blade.

The lacquered hardwood scabbard and combat practical sword fittings, complement the sword fittingly. And the hardwood, wrapped with leather & quality polyester cord form a traditional sword aesthetic and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Shoto sword is a simple, clean and unassuming work of combative art. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters shortsword.
