Apprentice Katana 'Kihei'

ABOUT THE SWORD

•  100% handmade Katana. It is hand forged, hand polished and hand sharpened. The blade is razor sharp.
• The blade is made of 1060 Carbon Steel, providing a great balance of hardness (edge holding ability) and strength. The blade makes a whistling sound when swung properly, which is excellent for practicing technique. 
• The Katana has a full length tang structure, which enhances the strength of the sword manifold. This makes the blade practically unbreakable.
• The high quality materials, the full length tang structure and the hand sharpening results in excellent cutting ability. This Katana is able to cut through a bottle-thick bamboo tree.
• The rayskin handle secures a firm grip and maintains its rich color for decades.
• The saya is made of sturdy, hard wood that protects the blade from dust and moisture when rested.
• Certificate of Authenticity is included in the package. This is signed by the sword maker and has our stamp on it to verify the authenticity of the sword. The certificate is not printed on regular paper but on a heavy parchment, similar to what was used by ancient sword makers.
• The sword includes a complementary bag, which can serve as decorative packaging if you are buying the sword as a gift.
• Sword stand not included. You can find these for purchase under "Accessories."

Our family shop has been handcrafting swords for decades. Each and every sword is forged, polished and sharpened by hand through many hours of tedious work.
