Replica Katana SAKURA is among the most exclusive models in our offer. The T-10 steel blade, undergoing differential clay tempering, achieves exceptional hardness of 58 HRC and incredible sharpness. The uniqueness of this model is enhanced by the use of real buffalo horn on the Koiguchi and Kojiri parts of the Saya scabbard. This fully functional replica is designed to provide maximum stability during cutting tests, with the O-Kissaki (4.4 cm) tip, featuring a clearly defined Yokote, ensuring structural integrity and shock absorption.

Blade was hand-forged and subsequently polished with hazuya stone to achieve a mirror effect and reveal the depth of the real Choji hamon. The absence of a bo-hi groove gives the blade higher weight and momentum, which, combined with the specially designed Sori (2.2 cm) curve, allows for the cleanest cuts into tatami or bamboo.

Full Tang construction is a given with this model. The handle is wrapped in genuine stingray skin (Samegawa) with high-quality black silk ITO wrap. Every detail, including the decorative menuki, is individually crafted to achieve a perfect collector's experience.
