Katana “Kogane no Hana”

The high-quality Japanese samurai sword “Kogane no Hana”, which translates to the “Golden Flower” in Japan, is crafted from T10 steel. The blade is repeatedly folded, creating a beautiful Damascus grain pattern. This katana is entirely handmade using traditional techniques. The saya (scabbard) is made from genuine rosewood (Palisander), finished with a clear lacquer that enhances its natural beauty.

The exceptional craftsmanship, along with the ornate, detailed, and elegant appearance, makes this Japanese Shinken katana a standout in the mid-price range of katana.

„If you start without strength, seven out of ten actions will not be completed.“ (Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
