Katana with Genuine Hamon
The Japanese samurai sword “Hisui Ten’nō”, meaning “Jade Emperor”, features a blade forged from T10 steel that is traditionally clay-tempered, creating a unique hamon. The blade is then hand-polished and sharpened with Japanese waterstones. Both the scabbard and the handle are crafted from hardwood in traditional handwork and covered with genuine, distinctive ray skin.
The superior craftsmanship and the authentic, elegant appearance of an ancient Japanese samurai sword make this katana a standout in the mid-price range.
„Observation and perception are two different things. The eye that observes is stronger; the eye that perceives is weaker.“ (Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
