Japanese Katana

The Japanese samurai sword “Raitoningu”, meaning “Lightning” in Japan, embodies the swiftness and power of this natural phenomenon. Crafted with meticulous care, the blade of this Japanese katana is made from clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel, featuring a special hamon pattern, using traditional hand-forging techniques. It is elegantly paired with a slender hardwood saya adorned with buffalo horn elements. Thanks to the differential hardening process, the blade is built to maintain its sharpness even under rigorous use, and the final sharpening with Japanese waterstones renders it razor-sharp. The katana’s handle is enveloped in authentic ray skin and tightly bound with Japanese silk.

Embrace the power of the “Raitoningu” katana as you effortlessly cut through bamboo mats in the art of tameshigiri (katana cutting sport). Just like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, this sword’s exceptional blade will make each cut feel like a flash of lightning. Its exquisite craftsmanship and the refined elegance of its design set the “Raitoningu” katana apart, while the genuine silver fittings add a touch of luxury to this high-end masterpiece.

„Correcting our defects and weaknesses isn’t a simple task, as they are deeply ingrained within us and have shaped who we are.“
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
