Japanese Katana
The Japanese samurai sword “Shirubākaito”, meaning “Silver Dragon” in Japan, is crafted from clay-tempered T10 steel with a genuine hamon and comes with a black, hand-decorated saya made of hardwood. The handle is traditionally fashioned in a ray skin look and tightly wrapped with silk. The blade is hand-polished with sand.
The exceptional craftsmanship and traditionally carved hardwood saya (scabbard) make this Japanese katana a true standout among lower-priced katana.
„A person who speaks prudently is useful in good times and will avoid trouble in bad times.” (Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
