Black and gold Damascus Katana
Explore the power of the “Yama no Senshi”, translating to “Mountain Warrior” or “Samurai of the Mountain”, a Japanese katana that exemplifies resilience and strength. This masterfully crafted sword is forged from clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel, showcasing an authentic hamon that symbolizes the purity of traditional swordsmanship. The blade features a striking Damascus pattern, a result of meticulous folding, and is honed to a razor-sharp edge with Japanese waterstones.
Encased in a sleek black saya made from premium hardwood and adorned with genuine buffalo horn details, this katana is a fusion of robustness and aesthetic grace. The grip is luxuriously enveloped in genuine ray skin and tightly woven with Japanese silk, ensuring both durability and a prestigious feel.
Ideal for tameshigiri, the “Yama no Senshi” allows for effortless slicing through bamboo mats, mirroring the ease of a blade through butter. With its superior blade quality and minimalist elegance, this katana stands as a prime choice for enthusiasts and collectors seeking exceptional value in high-end katana.
