Dragon Steel Samurai Katana

Step into the age of dragons and warriors wielding the Dragon Steel Samurai Katana. Blending the ferocity of dragons with the warrior spirit of the samurai, this katana shows off a traditional design perfect for modern sword lovers.

A Tribute to Bushido

Forged by hand from 1045 carbon steel, this katana is a faithful replica of those used by legendary samurai warriors inspired by ferocious dragons. Carbon steel is known for its strength and durability. This katana, also known as a Japanese longsword, can be wielded with one or both hands. This is a fully functional weapon. It’s great for practice cuts and display. 1045 carbon steel means the blade has 0.45% carbon content, offering a great balance between toughness and edge retention. The metal blade extends into the handle in one solid piece, enhancing its strength and durability.

The sharpened blade is slightly curved like true uchigatana from feudal Japanese history. The uchigatana is another traditional term for describing this slightly curved Japanese katana. The blade has been differentially hardened to reveal a natural hamon line. Hamon is the wavy pattern close to the cutting edge of the blade. Its sharpened edge is rated at a Rockwell hardness of 45. There is a distinct bohi along the blade, also known as the fuller. This fuller removes extra weight from the blade without compromising its integrity. The tip, also known as the kissaki, is medium length.

Further down, the zinc alloy habaki, or blade collar is anchored to the guard by notched seppa. This blade collar has a brass finish for antique charm. The tsuba crossguard is fashioned in the traditional maru-gata style, known for its round, circular shape with perforations in the design. The handguard is fashioned to look like a soaring brass dragon, complete with a weathered finish for added contrast. In between the guard and the handle is a stylized silver dragon fuchi, also known as the spacer between the handguard and the hilt.

The wooden handle is wrapped in a layer of faux white ray skin, then wrapped with black polyester cord, known as tsuka-ito. Embossed on the pebbled faux ray skin is a zinc alloy dragon menuki with a blackened finish. Menuki refers to the dragon decoration on the handle just underneath the tsuka-ito wrapping. At the bottom, the hilt is wrapped through a silver kashira pommel.

This dragon carbon steel katana comes with a black hard wood saya scabbard and a certificate of authenticity. The certificate not only ensures you’re holding the real thing, it also provides information about the weapon. Close to the bottom, the scabbard is patterned with two blue dragons coiling around the moon. The scabbard has black sageo, also known as a cord tied around the scabbard for tying onto your belt. The sageo is tied to a kurigata, known as the protrusion on the scabbard. The protrusion has a brass spacer. Please note the cords on the scabbard and the handle may not be as pictured.
