SH1018 Golden Oriole Katana

Golden Oriole Katana

The Golden Oriole Katana by Paul Chen/Hanwei is one of the most popular katanas among collectors and lovers of Japanese swords. Its elegant design includes a stunning tsuba that tells the story of a praying mantis hunting a cricket, but not realizing that they are being hunted by a golden oriole.

The saya lacquered in a deep blue hue and the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito accentuate the beauty of the katana. In addition, the kashira is adorned with a praying mantis, giving it an additional touch of elegance.

This katana has an overall length of approximately 107.3 cm, with a blade of 69.2 cm and a handle of 35.6 cm. The weight is approximately 992 g and the center of gravity is located approximately 10.2 cm from the guard. The width of the blade at the guard is approximately 3 cm, while at the tip it is 2.2 cm. Also, the thickness of the blade at the guard is approximately 8 mm, while at the tip it is 7 mm.

This katana is made from hand-forged T10 carbon steel, giving it an unmistakable Hanwei quality. It is also produced in a traditional manner to ensure its authenticity.

To keep the katana protected, each one comes with a matching cloth sheath and a Japanese sword care set. And if you want to complete your collection, you can add the matching Golden Oriole Wakizashi (item number SH1019).
