Japanese Katana
The “Chairo no Ōkami” Japanese samurai sword, meaning the “Brown Wolf” in Japan, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and artistry. Its blade is meticulously handcrafted from 1095 carbon steel and folded multiple times, creating a beautiful Damascus pattern. Thanks to its differential hardening (genuine hamon), the blade retains exceptional sharpness even during demanding use. In the final step of production, the blade is honed to razor-sharp perfection with authentic Japanese waterstones. The saya is adorned with imitated ray skin and genuine buffalo horn accents. The katana’s handle is wrapped in genuine ray skin and tightly bound with Japanese silk.
With the “Chairo no Ōkami”, you can effortlessly slice through bamboo mats in Tameshigiri (katana cutting sport) with the grace of a master swordsman. Its superb blade, authentic design, and fittings enriched with genuine gold and silver elements, along with the splendid saya featuring buffalo horn accents, make this katana a true masterpiece among high-end Japanese swords.
