Product detailed description

Katana SHIKAI blade made of folded carbon steel AISI1075 Choji Hamon, Yokote

.

This blade is made of 1075 folded steel. The blade has been folded 11 times to create 2048 layers to increase the flexibility and hardness of the blade. The visible wavy grain on the blade is the result of repeated folding during forging. The production of this blade goes through 14 processes, right down to hand sharpening- the surface of the blade is like a mirror. The blade was hand polished with a hazuya stone in the final stage - this achieves an almost razor sharp edge. The distinctive real Choji Hamon is created according to ancient traditional methods based on the master blacksmith's many years of experience. It is a top quality replica of a samurai sword that is suitable for sect trials and can be disassembled into its individual parts. This blade has been tried and tested to remove everything in its path ! TheSori (blade curvature) is specially designed to achieve the finest and cleanest cuts possible. All this combined with the choice of traditional Koshirae ensures that you get the best in terms of appearance and functionality. The AISI1075 carbon folded steel has an impressive hardness in the HRC range- the perfect combination of this hardness is accentuated by the curvature of the Sori blade , which makes it easy to cut through tatami, straw mats, or bamboo for tameshigiri. The full tang construction of this katanagreatly increases the sword's power. The tip of the blade is shaped shinogi-zukuri and chu kissaki with a true Diamond-Shaped Yokote, which is very well defined by the hamon running full length through the Boshi. This Japanese sword can be combined into a set with Wakizashi SHIKAI (W-821)

Company Dellinger disclaims any liability for injury or damage resulting from use. Keep the katana out of the reach of children ! Any handling of the samurai sword is your own responsibility. Remember, you are holding a deadly weapon!

Katana 刀 is a type of samurai sword whose origin dates back to around the 15th century AD. A katana has a curved blade, just like a saber. Handle (tsuka) with oval cross-section and guard (tsuba) depicting oriental symbols. The length of the katana blade starts from about 60 cm. The samurai wore the katana tucked behind his kaku-obi belt, blade up, along with the Wakizashi short sword, so that he could react to a sudden attack from the enemy directly from the scabbard. The pair of katana and wakizashi swords were called daishō and were the symbol of the samurai class. A set of two daishō swords became standard equipment for samurai. The long katana was used for fighting in open spaces, while the short wakizashi or tantō was used for fighting in confined spaces or for ritual suicide called seppuce.
