High-End Honsanmai Katana
Introducing the “Osuushi no Kami”, or “Bull God”, an exquisite samurai sword that embodies the strength and spirit of its namesake. This katana is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese artistry, meticulously hand-forged from clay-tempered carbon steel using the esteemed Honsanmai construction. This method layers three types of steel—Hagane (1095 carbon steel), Kawagane (1060 carbon steel), and Shigane (1045 carbon steel)—to achieve a blade of unmatched resilience and cutting power.
The sword is adorned with a stunning premium saya, which is not only functional but also a piece of art, detailed luxuriously with ray skin and buffalo horn embellishments. Each blade is traditionally hand-polished and finely honed with Japanese water stones, ensuring a razor-sharp edge that is both beautiful and deadly. The handle, wrapped in genuine ray skin and encased with cow leather, offers an unmatched grip and aesthetic, blending durability with a refined touch.
The “Osuushi no Kami” transcends the realm of mere weaponry, rising to the status of a treasured artifact. Its lethal Honsanmai blade and impeccable construction set it apart as a jewel among high-end katana, making it an ideal legacy piece for those who cherish the pinnacle of craftsmanship and samurai tradition.
„An innocent person is one who extricates themselves from trouble. This must be done with strength.“
