Discover the fusion of strength and artistry with our Damascus Steel Katana, meticulously folded 13 times to produce an impressive 8192-layered blade. This forging process not only enhances the sword’s resilience and flexibility but also reveals a unique grain pattern, each telling the story of its creation. The blade is clay-tempered, a traditional technique that endows it with a distinctive hamon—the hallmark of its hardening process.
The sword’s tang is securely fastened by two bamboo mekugi (pegs), allowing for the possibility of disassembly. This feature invites a closer connection to the traditional samurai ritual of sword maintenance. Adorned with top-tier brass fittings, the tsuba (guard) and other elements boast exquisite craftsmanship.
The handle strikes a balance between aesthetics and function, wrapped in genuine yellow rayskin and black ito (braid), providing a regal yet purposeful grip. Complementing the blade is a striking black saya (scabbard), enhanced with a golden scorpion motif, adding a touch of opulence and character to the overall presentation.
