Dynasty Forge 29.5`` Daimyo 1095 Katana with Bo-Hi in Turbulent Wave Theme (DF007) |
Points: 50
|
Forged from pure 1095 high-carbon steel, this 29.5" blade is as resilient as it is beautiful. Hand-forged and clay-tempered, the Hamon is brought out through a meticulous traditional hand-polish on imported Japanese stones. This fine polish exposes the grain of the steel, very similar to Nashiji Hada (pear Hada). A hand-carved and burnished Bo-Hi keeps this large blade balanced and lively. The blade is fitted in our popular turbulent wave theme with a pair of dragon Menuki. The 11" Tsuka is wrapped in silk Ito. The Saya is finished in a durable black stone lacquer. Sold Out

Dynasty Forge 28.5`` Daimyo F/F Shobu Katana in Mokko Cherry Theme (DF008) |
Points: 50
|
The Shobu (iris leaf) Katana, a reproduction of blades made in preparation of the Mongol invasion, provides an geometry optimized for cutting power. Featuring a diamond cross-section that flares at the Shinogi, the edge has a wider cutting angle, thus reinforcing the edge. The blade has an elegant sweeping tip without a Yokote, accentuated by a Suguha (straight) Hamon.
The 28.5" blade is hand-forged from 1095/1080/1060 tri-steel. The blade is differentially clay-tempered and hand-polished on imported Japanese stones, a process that is even more complex due to the diamond cross-section. The blade is fitted in an elegant Mokko cherry blossom Tsuba with matching Fuchi-Kashira. The 12.5" Tsuka is wrapped in black silk Ito over a pair of cherry blossom & bird Menuki. The Saya is finished in a deep black gloss 11 layer natural lacquer. Sold Out

Dynasty Forge 28.5`` Daimyo F/F Tri-Steel Katana in Musashi Theme (DF010) |
Points: 50
|
Forged from unique blend of 1095/1085 high-carbon steel and 1060 spring steel, this 28.5" blade exhibits all the aesthetic qualities of the traditional Japanese sword.

The blade is fitted in the classic Musashi theme with a pair of Buddhist Sword Menuki. The 11" Tsuka is wrapped in black silk Ito. The Saya is finished in a deep black gloss lacquer with Same-gawa paneling. Sold Out

Cheness Shobu Zukuri - Ayami 9260 Spring Steel Katana (Ayame-9260) |
Points: 20
|
Constructed of the 9260TH spring steel, this Shobu-Zukuri katana is our preferred varient. The shinogi (ridgeline) of this sword runs the entire length of the blade... all the way to the very tip. This configuration results in a needle-like tip where the mune-shinogi-ha comes together to a singular point, facilitating penetration of soft targets. Sold Out
