Product detailed description

Artisan katana sword replica Manji Gold, folded steel AISI 1075, Nagasa 73 cm

This hand-forged katana replica represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship. The blade made of folded steel AISI 1075 was folded 11 times during forging, creating a unique structure of 2048 layers (hada), which increases the sword's flexibility and durability. In the final stage, the blade was polished with a hazuya stone to achieve extreme sharpness. The distinctive Choji Hamon line is created using traditional partial hardening methods. Like every functional katana replica in our offer, the Manji Gold model features a Full Tang construction, ensuring maximum strength during cutting tests.

The blade tip in the Chu-Kissaki design with a clearly defined Diamond-Shaped Yokote smoothly transitions into the Boshi line. The Sori (2.2 cm) curve is optimized for a clean cut, allowing for easy slicing of tatami or bamboo when studying tameshigiri. The sword's design bears the swastika symbol (Manji), which has been revered in Asian cultures for millennia as a sacred symbol of prosperity, strength, and good fortune.
