Japanese Dragon Katana
The “Unryū” Samurai sword, named after the “Cloud Dragon” in Japan, embodies exceptional craftsmanship. Crafted from clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel, this Japanese katana boasts a genuine hamon and is meticulously handcrafted following traditional techniques. It is equipped with a saya that features intricate and remarkable Japanese dragon artwork.
The blade undergoes a differential hardening process to maintain sharpness even under the most demanding conditions and is carefully honed to razor sharpness using Japanese waterstones. The handle is covered with genuine ray skin and securely wrapped in Japanese silk, ensuring durability and a comfortable grip.
Ideal for tameshigiri, the art of katana cutting, the “Unryū” katana slices through bamboo mats with ease. With its superb blade, authentic design, fittings embellished with genuine gold, and a beautifully hand-painted saya, this katana stands as a pinnacle of high-end Japanese swords.
