Fierce Tiger Katana | Folded Steel Honsanmai Notare Hamon Real Yokote Copper Fittings Disassemblable Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Fierce Tiger Katana is a mid-high tier functional collectible samurai sword priced at $559.99, built for heavy tameshigiri cutting practice and tiger-theme desktop collection. The blade adopts premium folded steel honsanmai three-layer composite forging structure, combining flexible inner core and hard outer cutting layer. It is treated via traditional Tsuchioki clay temper to generate smooth natural Notare wavy hamon, with real hand-forged yokote and standard shinogizukuri profile, no blood groove solid blade design, full hand grinding process and factory sharpened cutting edge for real cutting performance.
All koshirae hardware including tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, habaki and seppa are uniform solid copper with simple minimalist finish. The Imogata oval tsuka uses genuine ray skin base wrapped with thick moro-hineri cotton silk ito for long-time non-slip holding. The scabbard is made of solid hardwood with plain matte paint, matched heavy woven cotton sageo binding cord. This katana features fully disassemblable full tang secured by two bamboo mekugi pegs, easy to take apart for regular blade oil maintenance. A dedicated katana storage bag is included as free gift; custom blade carving service is available with an extra $30 upgrade fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of honsanmai folded composite steel over single T10?
A: Honsanmai three-layer structure uses soft inner shigane core + hard folded T10 outer layer, resists bending during heavy cutting while keeping excellent edge sharpness, far more durable than mono T10 blades for frequent tameshigiri practice.
Q: What’s the difference between Notare hamon and Gunome/Sanbonsugi?
A: Notare features long smooth gentle undulating waves without separated cedar/round peaks, presenting soft elegant visual texture, more suitable for tiger themed medium-heavy training swords.
Q: Why choose thick cotton sageo?
A: Thick coarse cotton cord has strong wear resistance, not easy to fray after long-term tying and carrying, fits the tough fierce tiger positioning of this katana.
Q: What’s the difference between real and fake yokote?
A: Real yokote forms physical thickness transition on blade, a traditional high-end craft mark; fake yokote is only surface carved line with no structural difference.
Q: Can I add custom carving on blade?
A: Yes, extra $30 blade carving service available, customize tiger patterns or unique text, visit Custom Katana for full personalized sword design.
