Sokojikara Stalking Tiger Katana and Scabbard

Product Description

The Sokojikara Stalking Tiger Katana is a stunning example of traditional sword craftsmanship, combining beauty with exceptional functionality. Hand-forged using the centuries-old process of clay tempering, the 29” 1095 carbon steel blade achieves the perfect balance of strength and flexibility. This meticulous process not only enhances the blade’s performance but also gives it a unique character, making it a prized addition to any collection. The round antiqued brass tsuba, intricately detailed with a stalking tiger in an open design, adds a touch of elegance and symbolism to the overall design. The hardwood handle is wrapped in a striking combination of green and blue water-color rayskin, finished with black cord for a secure grip. The brass habaki, engraved with fine detailing, enhances the sword’s aesthetic appeal. At 40” overall, the katana is housed in a sleek, black lacquered scabbard, perfectly accented with black cord-wrap to match the handle. Every aspect of this katana showcases the masterful art of sword making, providing a perfect blend of tradition and modern design.
