Empire Wheel Katana β 1045 Carbon Steel, Red-Orange Saya, Hand Forged, Full Tang, Battle Ready
SKU: 995
This Empire Wheel Katana looks warmer than the black-saya versions because the red-orange lacquer saya carries the first impression. The wheel-themed fittings give the mounting its identity up close, while the 1045 carbon steel blade and bo-hi / fuller keep the blade side visually defined.
