A deadly and visually striking white tiger sword.
Symbolizing the balance between two opposing forces, it can be said that a black and white color scheme encapsulates an energy and philosophy very close to Yin and Yang mysticism. An understanding of all things worldly and universal being of dark and light, good and bad and through the ever changing chaos, always centered, calm and un-moved in mental strength.
The two colors, although opposed, are meant to bring peace, calm and a sense of certainty.
Additionally, this artistically decorated tiger Katana symbolizes great strength, courage and agility. The tiger is an uncompromising standard and once awoken, the majestic beast attacks with ferocious and awe-inspiring martial prowess. The white tiger even more-so, being the largest of its kind, hardened by its frozen, hostile mountain wilderness home.
The most valuable part of any sword is its blade, with this T10 steel sword blade certainly forming a solid foundational core of this true Katana. T10 is the highest carbon content steel used for sword making and is arguably the best steel available for a true Katana.
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 painted print, water transfer lacquered hardwood scabbard and beautiful brass, gilded with silver & gold sword fittings, complement the white and black Katana color scheme very nicely. And the hardwood, wrapped with real stingray-skin & quality cord form a traditional and very effective Japanese Samurai handle grip.
This T10 high carbon steel Katana is a decorative and prominent work of art. It’s highly collectable, a pleasure to own and a formidable close quarters weapon of war to use.
A black and white Katana, with a bamboo Samurai sword theme.
Encapsulating energy and philosophical symbolism very close to Yin and Yang mysticism, a black and white sword is said to mirror a Samurai’s understanding of all things worldly and universal being of dark and light. The two colors, although opposed, are meant to bring peace, calm and a sense of certainty, even through constant changing and chaos.
Further symbolism is built into the Tsuba (hand-guard), the sword-component of defense, with the representation of bamboo. Revered and admired by the Japanese Samurai for its exceptionally fast growth, towering height, strength and flexibility, a sword fitted with bamboo themed fittings is said to somewhat protect its user with the qualities of strength and flexibility, along with the aspirational clairvoyance for great achievements in life.
Equipped with a T10 steel sword blade, which certainly forms a premium-quality and very lethal foundational core to this true Katana sabre.
T10 steel is a modern, highly refined high-carbon steel, mixed with other trace elements, such as tungsten, manganese and silicon, etc. Its blade attributes include excellent toughness and hardness with a durable, sharp edge holding capacity, along with good blade elasticity and desirable resilience. T10 is one of the highest carbon-content steels used for blade-smithing, and is arguably the best sword-making steel available for a functional combat sword.
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.
