Description:

SL-1408 is a beautiful katana. The blade is made of 1095 high carbon steel specially differentially-hardened to produce a hitatsura hamon or full temper. A blade with hitatsura hamon has hardened portions on its spine and shinogi-ji resulting in a chaotic but wildly beautiful hamon. The fittings are snake-themed cast brass and plated with silver. The tsuka is made of hardwood with genuine rayskin panels and wrapped with black leather ito. The saya is also made of non-moisture retaining hardwood with black glossy lacquer finish and black buffalo horn koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri. All in all, SL-1408 is an awesome katana that can be an eye-catching display piece and a very capable cutter.

Our Full Tang Bleach Swords are 100% handmade, so specification varies slightly from sword to sword. We appreciate your understanding.
All our katana swords are hand forged by swordsmiths, the forging time about 7-15 days. For some high-performance swords may require longer hand forged processing time, depending on the difficulty of the craft.
