Japanese Katana
Introducing the “Nihon no Mura”, translating to “Japanese Village”, a samurai sword that epitomizes the essence of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Forged from clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel and featuring a genuine hamon, this Japanese katana is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. It includes a saya beautifully adorned with Japanese artwork, enhancing its authentic and elegant appearance.
The blade undergoes differential hardening to ensure it retains sharpness, even with rigorous use, and is finished with a razor-sharp edge using Japanese waterstones. The handle is covered in genuine ray skin and wrapped tightly with Japanese silk, providing both beauty and a secure grip.
Ideal for tameshigiri, the “Nihon no Mura” slices through bamboo mats effortlessly. With its superior blade, exquisite aesthetics, and fittings of genuine silver and gold, this katana stands as a masterpiece among high-end Japanese swords, perfect for collectors and practitioners alike.
“Thinking about things beforehand and then doing them easily when the time comes, that’s what it’s all about.“
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
