Shadow Katana

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

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