Product detailed description

Dragon Spear Horimono Katana Collector's Replica – T-10 Mono-Steel

The perfect fusion of artistic engraving and functional blacksmithing in a traditional style.

The Dragon Spear Horimono Katana replica features a forged blade made from the highest quality T-10 steel. The steel, in a Maru mono-composite configuration, is differentially hardened, ensuring exceptional durability and the ability to maintain extreme sharpness. The blade, without a bo-hi groove, was hand-polished in the final stage using hazuya stone, achieving a mirror finish.

The blade showcases a beautiful dragon-shaped Horimono engraving. This replica has been tested to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts. The Sori curve and T-10 mono-composite steel with a hardness of HRC 58 allow for easy cutting of tatami, straw mats, or bamboo during tameshigiri. The Full Tang construction significantly enhances the overall strength and reliability of the model.

The blade tip is shaped in the shinogi-zukuri style with a medium chu kissaki and a true Diamond-Shaped Yokote. Distinctive real Choji Hamon (Clover Tree Flower pattern) is created using traditional differential clay hardening methods.
