John Lee Functional Dragon Katana

The John Lee Functional Dragon Katana is a masterpiece from one of the best Asian swordsmiths. This sword is hand forged from carbon steel and traditionally hardened to ensure its durability and strength. The razor-sharp blade has a fuller fillet to reduce weight, allowing for better maneuverability during use.

Additionally, the handle (tsuka) is made of wood and covered with real fish skin for a better grip. The hilt is wrapped (tsuka-ito) in traditional black cotton, and features two decorative gripping eyes (menuki). The hilt (tsuka) is anchored to the blade with bamboo pins (mekugi), ensuring its stability and strength. The scabbard (saya) is made of wood and the blade has a brass collar (habaki) so that it does not rattle in the sheath.

The tsuba of this sword is adorned with a dragon, which even today plays an important role in Japan, especially during New Year festivities. Unlike Western folklore, the dragon in Japan is a lucky mythical creature that symbolizes power and wisdom.

As for the technical details, the overall length of the functional John Lee Dragon Katana is approximately 103 cm, while the blade length is approximately 72 cm. The hilt length is approximately 31 cm, and it features a blade curve (sori) of approximately 18-20 mm. The weight without sheath is approximately 1 kg, and with sheath, approximately 1.25 kg.
