Rakku katana replica – T-10 steel, real Suguha hamon, Yokote

Product detailed description

Rakku Katana Replica – Harmony and Precision

A collector's replica with a linear hamon and exceptional structural integrity.

The RAKKU Katana Replica is the ideal choice for those seeking a sword with traditional geometry and high material durability. The blade is hand-forged from T-10 carbon steel (1.1% carbon), which exhibits an authentic Suguha hamon line after partial clay tempering. This straight temper line is highly valued for its visual clarity and the technical complexity of its production.

The Full Tang construction ensures the blade runs through the entire length of the handle, guaranteeing maximum stability in combination with the monosteel construction. The shinogi-zukuri type blade is equipped with a functional bo-hi groove for optimal acoustics and weight reduction. The ko-kissaki tip features a real Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which increases tip strength and structural durability during handling.

Thanks to precise manual polishing with a hazuya stone, the contrast between the hamon and the blade body is striking. The Sori 2.2 cm curvature allows for smooth execution of traditional practice techniques.

• Material: High-carbon T-10 steel (hardness approx. 58 HRC)
• Construction: Full Tang, Maru monosteel, Yokote
• Surface: Hand-polished with hazuya stone, real Suguha hamon
