A premium Katana hand-forged with 1095/1080/1060 tri-steel construction. The steel is hand-selected, then forge-folded 10-12 times which results in over 9000 layers. The blade is then differentially clay-tempered and hand-polished on imported Japanese stones, a traditional process taking 40-plus hours to complete, which brings the sword to a pristine and gorgeous finish. The 11" Tsuka is wrapped in Japanese silk Ito over genuine Same and a pair of themed Menuki. The Saya is finished in a high-gloss 11-layer natural lacquer with ox-horn fittings. This sword is simply spectacular, and is a SOTE Recommended Blade for superior aesthetics and performance.
