Katana Bushido Nami folded carbon steel

From the heart of Longquan, a small mountain village in Zhejiang Province, China, renowned for its thousand-year-old sword-making tradition, comes this majestic hand-forged katana. Each piece of this sword has been carefully crafted by master forgers using techniques passed down through generations, making this katana a functional and decorative work of art.

Characteristics and Preparation:

• Forged with Pattern Welded Steel: The blade is worked using the folded or "pattern welded" steel system, which gives it outstanding strength and flexibility. This traditional process produces a strong blade structure with a Rockwell hardness in the range of 40-45 HRC, while the guard has a hardness of 35 HRC, ensuring long-term durability.
• Simulated Hamon: A skilled craftsman carefully applies a simulated hamon, which mimics the traditional differential tempering of Japanese swords, giving the blade a unique visual appeal.
• Precision Sharpening: Each blade is sharpened before leaving the factory, ensuring its ability to cleanly cut a sheet of paper, proving its precision and quality.

Design and Symbolism:

• Water Dragon Motif Tsuba and Pommel: The tsuba and pommel are adorned with Japanese water dragons, traditional symbols of good fortune, power and wealth in Eastern culture. These mythological creatures, associated with bodies of water, are an emblem of fluidity, protection and prosperity, adding deep meaning to this katana.
• Antique Brass Finish: Metal parts such as the tsuba, pommel and fuchi-kashira are made of brass with an antique finish, giving the sword a classic appearance reminiscent of historic samurai swords.
• Grip (Tsuka): The grip is covered with genuine ray skin, known for its strength and durability, and wrapped with traditional cord to ensure a comfortable and firm grip.

Sheath and Details:

• Scabbard (Saya): The saya is made of high-quality wood and features an elegant matte black finish with a delicate gold sand pattern, creating a spectacular visual contrast. This design makes the katana a perfect display object, both for its functionality and aesthetics.
• Storage Bag: To ensure the protection of the katana when not in use, a high quality cotton storage bag is included, ideal for preserving its beauty and functionality.
