Imperial Forge - Katana Forged Steel

Imperial Forge: "We are proud to introduce our new Imperial Forged Steel Sword Collection; masterfully hand crafted specifically to be used in "the way of the sword", rather then hung on the wall. Using specially forged and tempered high carbon steel we've produced a high quality blade that truly out performs our competition. The Imperial Sword Collection exceeds the expectations of martial artistes for strength, cutting power, and most importantly, craftsmanship.

Each sword blade is individually hand forged, heat treated, tempered and polished by skilled hands creating a true battle ready weapon. Keeping with Japanese traditions our Imperial Sword Collection is crafted using only traditional materials and fittings. The Tsuba (guard), Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel) are expertly made and finely crafted from black iron. The Habaki (blade collar) is hand made out of polished brass and each tsuka (handle) is covered in black ray skin and tightly wrapped in the traditional cross over style ito (braid) with green or black cord.

It takes time to produce swords of this quality and this is why our Imperial Sword Collection is more difficult to acquire. It is best to order or reserve your blade as soon as possible as we do not always have full availability in stock. We take great pride in the quality and performance of or swords, we will not compromise this quality and performance just to sell more."
