Japanese Katana

Experience the elegance of the “Yūga-Sa”, meaning “Grace” in Japanese, a katana that embodies the pinnacle of traditional swordcraft. Forged from multi-folded and clay-hardened 1095 carbon steel, this blade showcases a distinctive, authentic hamon and a striking Damascus grain pattern, each detail bearing the mark of its artisanal heritage.

This katana is entirely handcrafted using time-honored techniques and is sharpened with Japanese water stones to ensure a razor-sharp edge. The exquisite saya, enhanced with elements of ray skin and buffalo horn, adds a touch of sophistication and extraordinary beauty to the sword. Differential hardening ensures the blade retains its sharpness even in rigorous conditions. The handle, covered in genuine ray skin and tightly wrapped in Japanese silk, provides a secure and elegant grip.

Perfect for tameshigiri, the “Yūga-Sa” makes cutting through bamboo mats seem effortless. Its exceptional craftsmanship and stunning appearance make this katana a standout, offering unparalleled value among high-end swords.

“No fear, no hesitation, no wonder, no doubt.“
(Miyamoto Musashi)
