Product information "Shikoto Longquan Master Katana"
When you hold a Shikoto Hammer-Forged Longquan Master sword in your hand, you are holding the same weapon a warrior used more than 2,500 years ago. Using methods used by Bronze Age swordsmiths, each T10 high carbon steel blade has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a visible hamon line.
Differential hardening gives these magnificent swords a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, which is the hallmark of a high-quality weapon. The tsubas and handle fittings are of solid iron and the wooden handles have traditional cord wrapping over genuine, tea-dyed rayskin. Black lacquered and polished wooden scabbards with cord-wrapping house the blades.
Also included with each sword is a certificate of authenticity with forging specifications, signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade.
Features:
Blade material: T10 carbon steel
Blade length: 69.2 cm
Overall length. 100.3 cm
