Kamakura Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Konchū” symbolically represents the fascinating “Insect World” in Japan. The blade of this katana is forged from high-quality 1060 carbon steel and then meticulously polished using traditional methods. The sword is delivered with a carved saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is covered with imitated ray skin and carefully wrapped with a grip tape to ensure a secure and comfortable hold.
“The spirit of a samurai knows neither doubt nor fear.”
