Exclusive katana replica Midori Tsunami 2.55 Shaku, T-10 Carbon Steel, Choji Midare Hamon

Product detailed description

High-end replica of the Midori Tsunami katana sword with a T10 steel blade, Nagasa 2.55 Shaku

The forged Midori Tsunami katana combines traditional craftsmanship, aesthetic decoration, and premium materials. The T10 carbon steel blade with differential hardening creates a beautiful hamon line in the choji-midare style, reminiscent of blooming flowers. The sword is equipped with elegant and functional accessories in a minimalist style, emphasizing the sea wave motif, symbolizing the power of nature and harmony. The blade without a bo-hi groove was hand-polished in the final stage with hazuya stone – achieving an almost razor-sharp edge (razor sharp) and a mirror finish. The Sori (blade curvature) is specially designed to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts possible. The monocomposite T-10 carbon steel boasts an impressive hardness of 58 HRC. The perfect combination of this hardness is enhanced by the pronounced blade curvature Sori (4.5 cm), which allows for easy cutting of tatami mats, straw mats, or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this blade significantly increases the sword's strength.

T10 steel blade - Koshizori style curvature with Choji-Midare Hamon line

The blade of this katana is made of high-quality T10 carbon steel, which guarantees exceptional hardness and the ability to maintain the quality of the blade. Thanks to differential hardening using clay, the blade has a distinctive and beautiful hamon line in the choji-midare style (irregular ripples resembling blooming flowers). The curvature of the blade in the koshikzori style (with a curve towards the handle) gives the sword an elegant appearance and improves handling.

Habaki (blade collar)

The Habaki is made of a copper alloy with a smooth polished surface, which enhances the minimalist look of the tool. This element ensures a secure fit of the blade in the scabbard (saya) and also contributes to the aesthetics of the entire replica.

Minimalist Tsuba (guard)

The guard of the katana is simple, without a motif, which gives the sword an elegant and understated appearance. The minimalist brass tsuba is small in size, which facilitates handling and ensures perfect balance.

Handle (Tsuka) – wrapped in Kawa-Tsumamimaki style

The handle is wrapped in the Kawa-Tsumamimaki style, a traditional leather cord wrapping technique, particularly used for ceremonial and highly decorated katanas. This particular wrap is made from olive green leather, which, combined with ray skin (samegawa), creates a luxurious and unique look. Beneath the wrap are the menuki (metal decorative elements) shaped as golden dragons, symbolizing strength, protection, and wisdom. Dragons are traditionally considered protectors and bringers of good fortune.

Scabbard (Saya) – Black elegance with a sea wave motif

The saya of this katana is made of strong wood and lacquered in a deep black color with a glossy finish. The saya is complemented by decorative metal elements with a sea wave motif (nami), symbolizing the power of nature and the endless movement of life. The katana also includes traditional kozuka (decorative knife) and kogai (decorative spike), both with a sea wave motif, completing the unified aesthetic of the entire set.

Kaeri-zuno – traditional protective element on the saya

The saya also features a kaeri-zuno, which is a traditional curved metal hook. The kaeri-zuno serves to protect the saya from damage and also facilitates quick handling. This element on a katana is a symbol of quality and precise craftsmanship, referencing traditional Japanese swordsmithing.

This Midori Tsunami sword replica is an example of mastery in blacksmithing and art. The T10 steel blade, differential hardening with a choji-midare hamon, elegant saya, and sea wave motif accessories make it a unique and valuable collector's item. The minimalist tsuba without a motif emphasizes the katana's functional design, while accessories like the kozuka, kogai, and kaeri-zuno add unique traditional elements to the sword.

This replica is ideal for collectors, lovers of Japanese culture, and anyone who appreciates the precise fusion of aesthetics and functionality in one unique piece. Store the collector's replica out of reach of children. Handling of the collector's replica is always at your own risk.

The tip of the blade is shaped shinogi-zukuri and features a true kissaki with a Diamond-Shaped Yokote, clearly defined by the hamon extending across the entire length to the Boshi. The distinctive real Choji Midare Hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods, drawing from many years of experience by the master blacksmith.
