Hejiu Handmade Katana Samurai Sword

This finely crafted Katana follows the traditional Japanese process of production. Measuring 40.2 inches/102cm in overall length, with a 10.24-inch/26cm handle and a 27.2-inch/69cm blade, it boasts a width of 1.26 inches/3.2cm and a thickness of 0.27 inches/0.7cm. Hardened to a remarkable 57HRC, this folded steel Katana is the result of a meticulous 13-fold forging process, creating an astounding 8,192 layers.

The visible grain pattern on the blade is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship, as the blade is repeatedly folded during the forging process. After careful heat treatment, tempering, and oil quenching, the blade achieves the perfect balance of flexibility and hardness.

The Tsuba, or hand guard, is beautifully crafted from round brass, while the Kasira-pommel/Fuchi is made of brass as well. The Seppa, or spacer, and the Habaki, or blade collar, are both crafted from yellow pure copper, ensuring a timeless and durable finish that is resistant to fading and discoloration.

The handle is made of wood, covered in black artificial fishskin on the inside and wrapped with golden cotton rope on the outside. The sheath is also made of wood, featuring a fine grain pattern that complements the overall aesthetic.

This exceptional Katana is a true masterpiece, crafted using traditional techniques that have been perfected over centuries. Each step of the production process, from material selection to final assembly, is meticulously carried out by skilled artisans. The use of two bamboo nails in the hilt ensures a solid and secure connection, while also making it easy to dismantle the blade for maintenance or display.

Whether you choose to display this Katana as a stunning ornament, gift it to a friend, or take it outdoors for recreational use, you can rest assured that it is a well-made, reliable, and visually stunning piece of Japanese craftsmanship. The weight ratio is carefully balanced, allowing for effortless and controlled handling, making this Katana a true testament to the enduring legacy of the samurai tradition.
