Japanese Katana
The “Yasei no Tora” samurai sword, known as the “Wild Tiger” in Japan, features a blade meticulously crafted from T10 steel and clay-tempered to create an authentic hamon. The addition of a bo-hi (blood groove) not only reduces the blade’s weight but also enhances its elegant appearance. The handle is covered with real ray skin and complemented by an intricately decorated saya made from genuine hardwood.
The superior craftsmanship and elegant design make this Japanese katana a standout in the mid-price range. This sword combines aesthetic grace with practical functionality, appealing to both collectors and martial arts practitioners.
„Thinking about things beforehand and then doing them easily when the time comes, that’s what it’s all about.“
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
