Japanese Katana

Introducing the “Tenshi no Kami”, or “Angel’s Hair”, a Japanese katana that combines delicate artistry with robust functionality. This sword is crafted from 1095 carbon steel, expertly folded multiple times and clay-tempered, a traditional technique that enhances its strength and gives it a distinctive, wavy hamon pattern. The folding process creates a beautiful Damascus grain pattern, celebrated for its intricate aesthetics.

The katana features a sleek black saya made from genuine hardwood, elegantly accented with buffalo horn elements, providing a classic yet resilient housing for the blade. The handle is covered in real ray skin and meticulously wrapped with Japanese silk, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip.

Perfect for tameshigiri, the art of katana cutting, the “Tenshi no Kami” allows for effortless slicing through bamboo mats. With its exceptional craftsmanship and simple elegance, this katana stands out as a top choice among both sport and premium katana, offering exceptional value in the upper price range.

“Merely observing what is written here with the eyes does not lead to the path of martial arts; one must internalize it to understand, must discover it for oneself, not in imitation of half-understood concepts, but with the full force of one’s heart, to then possess it forever.“ (Miyamoto Musashi)
