True Dragon Sword

Beautifully intertwined with powerful dragon features, this sword is also the weapon of Seiryu (green dragon), further symbolizing nature, earth, growth, spring and vitality. Seiryu is of the wood element and a water associated deity, kindred to nature, growth and rejuvenation. 

Equipped with a T10 steel sword blade, which is a modern, highly refined, iron base-steel alloyed with a high on average 1.0% carbon content, along with small amounts of tungsten, manganese and silicon. 

T10 is one of the highest carbon content modern steels used for sword-smithing and arguably the best combat sword-making steel available, certainly forming a very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre. Blade characteristics include a hard, tough, reliable & wear-resistant cutting edge, along with desirable blade resilience and good elasticity.

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. 

Completed with a lacquered hardwood scabbard, along with battle-practical brass sword-fittings, and a hardwood wrapped with black, genuine stingray-skin & quality silk cord handle, forming a traditional, practical and effective Japanese Samurai hand-grip.

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