Gale Katana | Kobuse Oroshigane T10 Gunome Hamon Real Yokote Dragonfly Gilded Copper Imitation Ray Ox Horn Saya Katana

Product Introduction

The Gale Katana is wind-inspired dragonfly themed mid-high end collectible samurai sword priced at $630.00, built with traditional Kobuse laminated oroshigane + T10 composite blade, ideal for nihonto collectors, study room artistic display and premium oriental cultural gifts. The blade adopts classic Kobuse sandwich forging structure (soft inner oroshigane core + hard outer T10 steel), crafted via Tsuchioki clay differential temper to form neat continuous Gunome wave hamon, equipped with structural real hand-forged yokote, no blood groove maru profile, full shiage multi-stage mirror polishing and factory pre-sharpened functional cutting edge, balancing toughness and cutting hardness for light tameshigiri training.

The full set koshirae fittings are dark solid copper with gold & silver two-tone gilded dragonfly relief carving, including tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, seppa and habaki. The oval imogata tsuka uses genuine natural ray skin inner lining wrapped with exclusive teal moro-hineri diamond woven thick cotton silk, stable anti-slip long-time holding grip. The scabbard is solid wood base covered with green dot imitation rayskin texture, matched complete solid ox horn koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri sheath hardware, paired black-green mixed coarse cotton sage binding cord. This katana adopts fully disassemblable full tang fixed by two bamboo mekugi pegs, convenient regular blade anti-rust oil maintenance. A dedicated katana storage carry bag is provided as free gift accessory; extra $30 charge for personalized blade pattern & text carving upgrade.
