Handmade Sword
Shirasaya Katana — 1095 High Carbon Steel, Clay Tempered, Edition B, Hand Forged, Full Tang, Battle Ready
SKU: 397
Katana — Hand-forged from 1095 high carbon steel, clay tempered using the traditional tsuchioki technique. The differential hardening creates a hard cutting edge and a tough, resilient spine — with a real hamon formed by the heat itself, not by polishing. Individually inspected before leaving our California warehouse.
