Calyx Canthus Katana — Damascus Steel, 1024 Layer, Hand Forged, Full Tang, Battle Ready

This Calyx Canthus Katana draws from the architecture of nature — the calyx's protective structure surrounding a flower, translated into metalwork that encloses a blade built for real-world use.

A blade with a Damascus wave-grain that’s never repeated. The 1024-layer folded high-carbon steel gives every Calyx Canthus Katana a one-of-a-kind jihada — the flowing pattern across the blade differs from sword to sword. Heat-tempered to a 52–54 HRC edge over a softer 48–50 HRC spine, it is built to take genuine cutting stress without going brittle: hard where it matters, resilient where it counts.

Made to be used, not just displayed. This is a full-tang, hand-sharpened katana — battle-ready in the real sense. The bamboo tsuba and brown piano-lacquered saya carry the Calyx Canthus motif throughout, while the genuine rayskin tsuka wrapped in brown Japanese cotton ito gives a secure, traditional grip for tameshigiri and practice cutting.

Who it’s for. Practitioners who want a functional Damascus katana with a distinctive identity — not another plain black blade — and collectors who appreciate that the calyx-and-flower concept runs from the blade pattern all the way to the saya finish.
