Premium Sport Katana
The Japanese sport katana “Subayai Senshi”, translating to “Swift Warrior”, is a testament to the fusion of art and functionality. Crafted from 1095 carbon steel, this premium katana undergoes differential hardening (clay tempering), giving rise to the distinctive hamon line. The additional and multiple folding of the blade creates a stunning Damascus pattern. Meticulously hand-forged and honed with Japanese waterstones, the blade achieves razor-sharp precision. This premium blade maintains its stability and sharpness even in the most demanding conditions, thanks to its high-quality treatment.
The saya, too, is crafted from the finest materials, including genuine hardwood and buffalo horn elements. The hardwood handle is carefully covered with real ray skin and tightly wrapped in black leather, ensuring a secure grip.
With this high-end katana, slicing through bamboo or rice straw mats during tameshigiri (katana cutting sport) feels as effortless as cutting through butter. The superior craftsmanship, exceptional blade, and sleek, elegant design elevate this katana to champion status among upper-tier sport katana, making it a prized possession for the discerning practitioner.
“Learn to look at the situation you are in as a whole.“
(Miyamoto Musashi)
