Japanese Dragon Katana
This beautiful Samurai katana “Doragon no Hi” – which translates to “Fire of the Dragon” in Japan – features a blade crafted from folded and then differentially hardened T10 steel, showcasing a beautiful grain pattern and a genuine hamon. The clay-tempered blade is also finely honed with Japanese waterstones. The striking wooden saya is a standout feature, covered in real ray skin and finished with buffalo horn tips.
The superb craftsmanship, the premium quality blade, and the luxurious ray skin saya with buffalo horn elements make this katana an outstanding all-rounder in any collection.
