Key Features

• Handmade construction: Each sword is forged and finished by artisans, giving visible fine workmanship and a more authentic feel than mass-produced alternatives.
• 1060 carbon steel blade: Tempered and hardened for strength and edge retention, the blade is designed to be sharp and durable for cutting practice and display.
• 28in ultra sharp blade: The long, sharp cutting edge makes slicing tasks and kata practice more effective and confident for experienced users.
• Full tang design: The blade extends through the handle for improved balance and structural integrity compared with partial-tang replicas.
• Decorative scabbard: The saya features golden paper fan patterns and an elegant black finish that enhances the sword as a collectible.
• Comfortable handle wrap: Soft cotton thread on the 10.6in handle provides grip and control during handling.

Who It's For

This katana is best for martial artists practicing with real steel, collectors who want a hand-forged piece, and outdoorsmen who desire a serious cutting tool for camping situations. The combination of a full tang and tempered 1060 steel suits users who expect both form and function.

It is not ideal for beginners who need an unsharpened training sword, or for buyers who want a lightweight decorative replica only. Those requiring a lightweight, synthetic-handled trainer or a blunted iaito-style sword should look elsewhere.
