Kamakura Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Osoroshī”, meaning “Fearsome” in Japanese, is a marvel of craftsmanship. Each katana boasts a saya, exquisitely crafted from genuine hardwood, adorned with a captivating samurai motif. Its blade, a work of art forged from T10 steel, is folded to reveal a breathtaking Damascus pattern. Following a thorough sand-polishing, the blade is galvanized, unveiling a mesmerizing orange-black hue that glistens. Wrapped in authentic ray skin, the handle is elegantly bound in Japanese silk, promising both beauty and a secure grip.
This katana’s remarkable craftsmanship and the saya’s traditional artistry elevate it as a distinguished icon among mid-range priced katana, captivating connoisseurs and collectors alike.
