Yōgan Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Yōgan Nami”, meaning “Lava Wave” in Japan, is a striking black and red katana handcrafted from T10 steel. It comes with a black and red saya made from genuine hardwood. The blade is traditionally clay-tempered (genuine hamon), polished with sand, and honed to a razor-sharp edge.
The high-quality craftsmanship, the robust blade, and the elegant appearance make this katana a true champion in its class.
„Speed is not a part of the true path of strategy. Speed implies that things seem fast or slow depending on whether they are in balance or not. Regardless, a master of strategy does not appear fast.“ (Miyamoto Musashi)
