Premium Katana

Introducing the “Rakurai”, a katana that captures the raw power and stunning beauty of “Thunder and Lightning”. Forged from clay-tempered T10 steel, this sword features a blade with an authentic hamon, exemplifying the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship. Each sword is meticulously hand-forged, polished, and sharpened, achieving a lethal sharpness akin to lightning itself.

The Rakurai is adorned with a uniquely iridescent saya, crafted from premium hardwood. This scabbard reflects the vibrant, ever-changing colors of a thunderstorm, enhancing the sword’s visual appeal. The handle, wrapped in genuine ray skin, provides a secure and luxurious grip, ensuring both comfort and control during use.

With its shimmering, eye-catching saya and refined buffalo horn accents, the Rakurai stands as a distinguished piece among mid-range katana. It offers a perfect blend of aesthetic beauty and traditional craftsmanship, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate a sword that is as visually stunning as it is functional.

„It’s natural that someone may not grasp deep and hidden things. The things that are easy to understand tend to be more superficial.“
