Japanese Samurai Sword
Introducing the “Samurai no Chie”, or “Wisdom of the Samurai”, a Japanese katana that exemplifies the profound skill and tradition of ancient swordsmiths. Forged from multi-folded and clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel, this blade features a distinctive hamon and a mesmerizing Damascus pattern, each fold reflecting the meticulous care of its creation.
This katana is honed to a razor-sharp edge with Japanese water stones, adhering to time-honored techniques that ensure precision and durability. The saya is a work of art, luxuriously adorned with imitated ray skin and genuine buffalo horn elements, contributing to its splendid and elegant appearance. The differential hardening process guarantees that the “Samurai no Chie” maintains its edge even through rigorous use. The handle, underlaid with genuine ray skin and wrapped tightly in Japanese silk, provides both comfort and a secure grip, making this sword ideal for Tameshigiri.
With its exquisite craftsmanship, stunning aesthetics, and superior performance, the “Samurai no Chie” katana stands out as a top choice among high-end swords, offering exceptional value for money.
“Simply looking at what is written here with your eyes does not help you to follow the path of martial arts; you have to assimilate it in order to understand it, you have to discover it for yourself with all the strength of your heart, so to speak, and then own it forever.“
(Miyamoto Musashi)
