Shogun Kiji Katana (104 cm.)

The Shogun Kiji Katana is an exceptional piece that fuses tradition with master craftsmanship, crafted in Longquan, China, a region with over 2000 years of sword-making history. This katana reflects careful attention to detail, ideal for lovers of history, martial arts and collectors of fine weapons.

Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, its blade is an example of strength and durability, thanks to its clay tempering, a centuries-old technique that increases the hardness of the edge without compromising its flexibility. This technique gives rise to the hamon, a visible line that runs along the blade, a testament to the skill in its creation. Each katana is carefully sharpened before leaving the workshop, ensuring precise and clean cuts, a clear sign of its effectiveness.

The design of the tsuba and pommel is particularly significant, as they are decorated with the figure of the pheasant, a symbol of harmony in Japanese culture and the country's national bird. This animal not only represents the connection with nature, but also the idea of balance and beauty in combat. The antiqued brass details on the pommel and fuchi-kashira not only add character to the katana, but also reinforce its durability and classic aesthetic.

The hilt, wrapped in genuine stingray skin and reinforced with carefully braided cord, provides a secure and comfortable grip, essential for precise sword handling. The wooden scabbard, painted in an elegant matte black with 'raindrop' detailing, completes the design with a touch of understated elegance.

To ensure you can keep your katana in top condition, this set includes a complete cleaning kit. From the protective oil to the mekugi adjustment hammer, each tool is designed to ensure your sword is kept in tip-top condition.

The Shogun Kiji Katana is not just a weapon, it is an expression of traditional craftsmanship and a symbol of the elegance and power of ancient Japan. Ideal for those looking for a piece with history and unmatched precision.
