Daimyo FF Shobu Katana 71.12 cm Gold Eagle

An heirloom grade classic Samurai Shobu Katana, designed to fend off the Mongol Invasion, forged from folded 1095/1080/1060 carbon steel. The blade is differentially clay-tempered to harden the edge will retaining a softer spine to increase resistance to shock. This blade is given our Daimyo hand-polish, taking over 40 hours on Japanese natural stones to provide a mirror finish that provides insight into the Hada and a distinct Hadori Hamon. Matched with an intricately detailed Gold Eagle tsuba (based on an antique in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts collection) and blue Japanese silk Ito. this sword is authentically Japanese while having an American character. The centerpiece of any collection, this sword represents our smiths' best work with modern steel.
