Tiger Katana
The Japanese katana “Shinrin”, meaning “Forest” in Japan, captures the essence of nature in its design. This exquisite katana boasts a blade forged from T10 steel with traditional clay tempering, resulting in the iconic hamon pattern characteristic of samurai swords. The blade undergoes meticulous sand polishing, achieving a razor-sharp edge. Crafted with unwavering dedication in the time-honored tradition of Japanese swordsmithing, it is adorned with a stylish saya in a rich green hue, crafted from genuine hardwood. The handle is wrapped with silk and underlaid with artificial ray skin.
The impeccable craftsmanship, the captivating iridescence of the saya, the golden brass tsuba, the uniquely embossed habaki, and the distinctive blade with its genuine hamon pattern elevate the “Shinrin” tiger katana to the pinnacle of premium katana.
