Japanese Samurai Sword
The Japanese samurai sword “Tonbo no joō” meaning the “Dragonfly Queen” in Japan, is crafted from T10 steel. It’s blade is clay-tempered, creating a beautiful and genuine hamon, and is then honed to a razor sharp edge with Japanese waterstones. The sword comes with a black, hand-decorated saya made of genuine hardwood. The handle is traditionally designed in a ray skin appearance and tightly wrapped with polyester.
The exquisite craftsmanship and traditional Japanese carvings on the saya make this katana a standout piece among lower-priced katana.
