Kamakura Katana

The Japanese samurai sword “Akai Kikyō” symbolizes the “Red Kikyō Flower” in Japan. The blade is crafted from 1060 carbon steel and is repeatedly folded to create a beautiful Damascus grain pattern. It is then traditionally polished with sand.

This samurai sword is handcrafted and comes with a hand-carved saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is traditionally covered in real white ray skin and tightly wrapped with polyester.
