Functional Sharpened 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 natural hardwood scabbard, along with the solid brass sword-fittings, complement the purple Katana handle in a unique fashion. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai handle grip. 

This Uchigatana sword is sharp and deadly, and executed with fine craftsmanship. It’s collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable war sword to use.
