Sokojikara Kitsune Handmade Katana / Samurai Sword

Product Description

The Sokojikara Kitsune Katana represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese swordcraft, meticulously handcrafted using only the finest materials for both visual appeal and remarkable strength. The full-tang, 28 1/3" T10 high carbon steel blade is hand-forged by expert swordsmiths using centuries-old techniques, including the revered clay tempering process. This results in a tough, impact-absorbing spine and body, with an exceptionally sharp edge and a beautiful natural hamon line that reflects the sword's superior craftsmanship. The elegant tsuka is wrapped in delicately textured genuine ray skin and tawny braided ito, secured by traditional wooden mekugi and adorned with brass menuki. The iron tsuba, accented by intricate branch relief, adds a touch of timeless beauty to this masterpiece. The wine-red wooden saya, featuring distinctive black spatter and angular beveling, completes the aesthetic with complementary sageo. Measuring 41" overall, the Sokojikara Kitsune Katana is a formidable yet graceful sword that balances tradition with modern elegance, making it a true collector's piece.
