Bushido Kiku No Gyokuza Katana (103 cm.)

The Bushido Kiku No Gyokuza Katana is a true gem, hand-forged in the heart of Longquan, a region in the Chinese province of Zhejiang renowned for its sword-making tradition dating back over 2000 years. With an overall length of 103 cm, this katana represents an exquisite balance between art and functionality.

Each katana is created using ancient techniques, using a “pattern welded” system that gives the blade a Rockwell hardness in the range of 40-45 HRC. The hamon, applied with great skill by artisans, is both an aesthetic detail and a reflection of the mastery in forging. The blade, sharpened with precision, is capable of cutting a sheet of paper cleanly, ensuring its quality and performance.

The Bushido Kiku No Gyokuza Katana is distinguished by its unique embellishments: the tsuba and pommel feature elegant floral motifs. The open-weave tsuba design reminiscent of a flower and the antiqued brass detailing on the pommel and fuchi-kashira add a touch of sophistication. The genuine ray skin grip, wrapped with cord, ensures a comfortable and secure grip.

The wooden scabbard, finished in deep burgundy with splashes of glossy black paint, stands out with its eye-catching design and the black and burgundy coiled cord that complements its appearance.

This katana is not only a collector's item but also a manifestation of the art of traditional forging. It comes with a cotton storage bag to keep it in pristine condition. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts, the Bushido Kiku No Gyokuza Katana connects you to a rich cultural heritage while offering a piece of exceptional craftsmanship.
