The Last Samurai hand forged katana

"THE LAST SAMURAI" KATANA - HAND FORGED

The Last Samurai katana is a stunning display of Japanese craftsmanship. This katana has been hand-forged, meaning that the manufacturing process was entirely manual. Blacksmiths use hammers and anvils to shape the steel, a process that involves a great deal of skill and patience. The end result is a high-quality carbon steel blade with an implied line of hardness and extreme sharpness that allows for a precise and powerful cutting test.

Furthermore, this katana is very beautiful. The mountings are made of blackened iron and feature wave motifs, while the blade is polished to perfection. The handle is wrapped with silk and features two decorative elements called Menuki. These ornaments are hidden beneath the silk wrapping and are a traditional Japanese way of adding an extra touch of elegance to the sword.

One of the most special features of this katana is the engraving on the blade. Just behind the Habaki (the top of the blade where the handle begins) there is an engraving of Japanese characters that reads: "The supreme duty of the samurai, in eternal worship and faithful devotion, is his extreme will to fight for his emperor." This engraving deepens the katana's connection to the samurai tradition and its historical legacy.

With its overall length of 102 cm and a blade length of 70.5 cm, this “The Last Samurai” katana is suitable for both display and martial arts practice. The weight of the katana is approximately 1100 g, making it easy to handle for those looking for a blade that offers a perfect balance between strength and maneuverability.

To properly care for this stunning sword, a sword care set is included along with a high-quality stand. The Last Samurai katana is a unique and valuable piece that any collector or enthusiast of Japanese culture would appreciate, as it is a true work of art.
