Product information "ShogunTsuru Katana"

Handcrafted in a small town nestled in the Longquan mountains of China’s Zhejiang province, where the tradition of skilled swordmaking began over 2,000 years ago.

Every part of this sword is expertly crafted by highly skilled smiths using centuries-old methods. The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and differentially clay-tempered using traditional methods, with the spine Rockwelling in the 45-48 HRC range and the harder cutting edge at 56-58 HRC. This ancient tempering method creates the hamon - the hard visible line left when the clay is removed. Each blade is honed and must be able to cleanly cut through a sheet of paper before it leaves the factory.

The tsuba, collar and pommel feature the Crane, the ancient Japanese symbol of good fortune, longevity (Japanese mythology claimed the the Crane lived for a thousand years) and peace. Each is made of brass and given an aged finish. The grip is genuine Rayskin wrapped with cord.

The wood scabbard is painted black with glossy sheen.

Includes cotton storage bag.

Also includes cleaning and maintenance kit for the care of Shogun Katanas, presented in a elegant wooden box that includes:

Bottle of oil, to protect the blade
Cloth for applying the oil,
Rice paper to keep the blade free of dirt
Uchiko, to loosen dust
Hammer to manipulate the mekugis (wooden peg used to fix the blade to the handle of the katana)

Tatami Omote - high quality - 20 pieces

This mat is made from rice straw and can be used for the traditional japanese cutting test tameshigiri. The mat has a dimension of 180*70-90cm. The mats come loose in a bag.This tatami omote is the high quality. After our experiences in cutting tatami omote during the last years we have decided to offer different qualities of tatami omote. By this we can make sure that each and every cutting customers will be satisfied. The experienced cutter can buy and cut this mat without any problems.The advantages are obvious :- not pre rolled, can be rolled individually- high density, high withstood when cutting- challenging to cut - can be rolled up to 7 or more times into each other in order to make big targetsWe recommend this tatami omote to all customers practicing tameshigiri on a regular basic, to everybody who is looking for a hard to cut target and to every martial arts practicioner who wants to check his technique.When you compare the 2 kinds of tatami omote, basic and high quality, then you will quickly realize that the basic quality tatami omote has only half the withstood the high quality has. Or in other words to say, the high quality is twice the hard to cut as the basic quality. The reason for this lies directly in the structure of the omote. The high quality has a much higher density than the basic quality.If you want to order larger quantities than 200 mats please ask for our offer.
