Straight Blade Katana

Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its sharp edge 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 beautiful redwood, matching hardwood scabbard & handle material close seamlessly together, forming a sword stick. The hardwood handle acts as a simple, sturdy and maintenance free handle grip, which is not only effective for combat, but also presents in a clean traditional form. 

This straight Japanese sword is a unique, decorative work of combat functional art art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon to use.
