functional katana John Lee Shintai

If you are passionate about Asian culture, the John Lee Shintai Katana is the perfect item for you. This sword is a true masterpiece of Asian swordcraft, designed to replicate the look and elegance of ancient Japanese katanas.

The John Lee Shintai Katana is a shintai, which is a sacred object representing the fourth of the gods (Kami) in Japanese mythology. In addition to the mirror and jewelry, the sword is also regarded as a religious relic.

This stunning Katana is a true display of craftsmanship, as it is hand-forged from carbon steel and traditionally hardened. The blade is folded 12 times, making it an 8,000-layer structure, giving it a beautiful and authentic appearance.

The razor-sharp blade is fully shaped for weight reduction, making it easy to handle for any user. The tsuka, or hilt, is made of wood and is covered in real fish skin, giving it a comfortable and secure grip. The hilt is wrapped in traditional black cotton and features two decorative grip swells called Menuki.

The tsuka is anchored to the bamboo blade with mekugi bolts, ensuring that the sword is firmly held and ready for any challenge. The scabbard is made of wood and the blade has a brass collar, habaki, to prevent the sword from swinging around inside the scabbard.

The details of the John Lee Shintai Katana are impressive. The total length of the sword is approx. 101 cm, the length of the blade is approx. 72 cm and the length of the hilt is approx. 28 cm. The curve of the blade, or soros, is approx. 20 mm and the weight without scabbard is approx. 1.1 kg.
