Manufacturer's Website

Description

Introducing the United Cutlery Shikoto Longquan Master Katana - 27 1/4 Inch. A breathtakingly authentic replica of a traditional Japanese sword. With its 27 1/4 inch T10 high carbon steel blade, it's a testament to the ancient craftsmanship of the Bronze Age swordsmiths. The blade has been hammer-forged and clay tempered to produce a distinctive hamon line, a characteristic of high-quality Japanese swords.

The sword's construction is a master-class in traditional craftsmanship, with solid iron tsuba and handle fittings, and a wooden handle wrapped in traditional cord and genuine tea-dyed rayskin. The blade's differential hardening process gives it a harder cutting edge and a softer spine, making it a formidable weapon for any warrior. The sword also comes with a black lacquered and polished wooden scabbard with cord-wrapping, which houses the blade with precision.

But what truly sets this sword apart is the certificate of authenticity included with the Shikoto Longquan Master Katana. Signed by the master swordsmith who crafted the blade, the certificate provides detailed information on the forging process, including specifications on the blade's composition, tempering, and other details. This is a truly unique piece of craftsmanship that would be a prized addition to any collection or display.
