Listen up—this isn’t just a sword. It’s a Handmade Japanese Katana from Ab Sword, forged with old-school grit for iaido, kenjutsu, or just showing off your samurai soul. Whether you’re slicing through dojo drills or staring it down on your wall, this blade’s got the edge you need. Here’s why it’s the real deal.
A Blade Born in Fire
This katana’s got a heart of 1095 high carbon steel—tough as nails and ready for action. I hammer it out using tricks straight from Japan’s samurai days, layering it in a Maru style with a clay-tempered twist. Picture this: I slap on a thin coat of clay near the edge, thicker on the spine, then quench it fast in water. That gives you a razor-sharp edge that cuts clean and a softer back that won’t snap under pressure. The result? A legit hamon—a wavy line of beauty from the cooling process that screams craftsmanship. Long Hi grooves run down each side, lightening it up and giving that sweet “whoosh” when you swing. With a Chu Kissaki tip (medium length), it’s polished by hand with Japanese sharpening stones until it gleams like a mirror. This isn’t just a blade—it’s a weapon with balance and bite.
Fittings That Hold Strong
No weak links here. The alloy tsuba (guard) stands firm, backed by a solid brass habaki and two seppas keeping it locked in place. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped tight—white genuine samegawa (ray skin) under black synthetic silk ito, tied in a katate-maki grip that won’t slip. Two bamboo mekugi pegs pin the full tang, and dragon menuki ornaments add a fierce touch. This katana’s built to last, whether you’re swinging or staring.
Sheath With Swagger
The hardwood saya (sheath) rocks a black-and-white high-gloss finish—sharp enough to turn heads. A thick black-and-white sageo cord loops around a bright copper kurigata knob, and the hardened koiguchi mouth keeps it snug. Take it apart, put it back together—it’s your call.
