Create my profile now!The awesome Japanese sword blade
This Japanese dragon katana comes with a 72cm medium carbon steel blade. The sword measures 102cm overall with a 7.2mm thick spine. Notably this means it’ll reduce bending if your swing isn’t perfect. The blade includes a fuller or ‘bo-hi’ in Japanese that will whistle when swung with perfect alignment. You’ll find that the wire brushed faux hamon adds to the authentic appearance of this Japanese sword. If you’re looking for an impressive display item, that doubles as a functional sword – this is the piece for you.
Close up of the Japanese Dragon Katana Sword Blade
To keep you your hands safe, a traditional Japanese dragon design ‘tsuba’ or handguard is placed between the handle (‘tsuka’) and the blade which matches the design on the sheath nicely. The handle is suitable for both single and dual handed use and comes complete with traditional black cotton handle wrap over faux ‘same’ rayskin. It’s comfortable and grippy yet won’t cause any hot spots over time. The handle is double pinned onto the full tang of the blade too. No detail has been missed!
A black shiny lacquered sheath keeps the blade safe while not in use. Plus it’s finished with a rather impressive Japanese dragon design. It comes with the traditional securing cord known as a sageo too for where the Samurai would attach the sword to their belt. Lastly, this is a classy sword with some decoration – a perfect balance if you ask us.
