Introducing the Chrysanthemum Pattern Tachi – an authentic recreation of the classic Japanese long sword worn by feudal samurai warriors. Forged from premium T10 high carbon steel and clay tempered to produce a beautiful Gunome hamon, this tachi features exquisite full copper fittings and a traditional chrysanthemum family crest (mon).

Unlike katana worn with the edge facing up, tachi was designed to be worn with the cutting edge facing down, making it the preferred weapon of mounted samurai. Every detail of this tachi adheres to historical proportions, from the pronounced 1.8cm curvature to the authentic full copper fittings that develop a beautiful patina over time.

• ✅ Authentic Ray Skin Handle: Traditional Moro-hineri-maki silk wrap for superior grip
