Katana “Mori no Doragon”

Introducing the “Mori no Doragon”, or “Dragon of the Forest”, a premium Japanese samurai sword that epitomizes the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship. Forged from multiple-folded T10 steel, this katana undergoes a clay-tempering process, enhancing both its strength and beauty. Each blade is meticulously sharpened with Japanese waterstones and polished with sand to achieve a flawless finish.

The katana features a lacquered genuine hardwood saya, preserving the elegance and authenticity of this remarkable weapon. The tsuka (handle) is traditionally covered in real ray skin, and the ito (handle wrap) is tightly bound in the finest Japanese silk, ensuring a grip that is as secure as it is exquisite.

Highlighting its exceptional craftsmanship, the tsuba is embellished with intricate silver and gold elements that capture the mystical essence of the forest dragon. The distinctive wood grain texture of the saya adds a unique, unmistakable touch, elevating the “Mori no Doragon” to a true masterpiece among premium samurai swords.

This katana is not merely a weapon but a symbol of artistry and tradition, making it a prized possession for any collector or practitioner.
