Katana “Dairiseki”

Explore the artistry of the “Dairiseki” katana, inspired by the elegance of “Marble”. This sword features a blade crafted from T10 steel, traditionally clay-tempered to develop a distinctive hamon, a testament to its fine craftsmanship. Each blade is sand-polished to a razor-sharp finish, ensuring both beauty and functionality. The katana is complemented by a stylish black saya with a marble-like finish, crafted from genuine hardwood.

The elegant saya, distinctive tsuba, and the authentic hamon on the blade all contribute to making the “Dairiseki” a standout choice among mid-range katanas, combining superb craftsmanship with striking aesthetics.
