Katana-Set “Ghost of Tsushima”

The “Ghost of Tsushima” Japanese samurai sword is meticulously crafted from T10 steel and undergoes clay tempering to achieve a genuine hamon. This process ensures the blade is both robust and razor-sharp, suitable even for the art of katana cutting sport (tameshigiri). Each piece in this Japanese sword set is hand-forged and comes with a genuine hardwood saya, enhancing its durability and aesthetic appeal. The tsuka (handle) is covered with simulated ray skin, adding to the authenticity of its traditional design.

The high-quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail make this set a standout in the mid-range price category of katana. It offers both beauty and functionality, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and practitioners alike.

“Not everyone is a samurai – but we are all murderers.“
(Ghost of Tsushima)
