Japanese Katana

Introducing the “Ōkina Kazan” katana, embodying the power of the “Great Volcano.” This katana is meticulously crafted from folded 1095 carbon steel and then clay-tempered, featuring a genuine hamon and Damascus pattern. The blade is complemented by a saya with a unique volcanic-inspired pattern, enhancing its striking visual appeal. The handle is sheathed in authentic ray skin and bound with traditional Japanese silk, offering a perfect blend of beauty and functionality. The differential hardening process ensures that the blade remains sharp, even with rigorous use. In a final step, the katana is sharpened to a razor-sharp edge.

Ideal for tameshigiri (katana cutting practice), the “Ōkina Kazan” cuts through bamboo mats with ease. With its superb blade, elegant design, and buffalo horn accents on the saya, this katana stands out as a top-tier choice for collectors and practitioners alike.
