Good Fortune Katana | Kobuse-Gitae Self Refining Steel Sanbonsugi Hamon Auspicious Samurai Sword
About This Good Fortune Katana
The Good Fortune Katana is a high-end forged collectible samurai sword themed around traditional auspicious fortune motifs, designed for premium gift-giving and veteran sword collectors. The blade adopts rare kobuse-gitae composite forge with self-refining steel, processed by traditional Tsuchioki clay tempering to form classic Sanbonsugi hamon paired with natural Itame Hada grain, balancing extreme cutting hardness and long-term blade toughness. The whole sword undergoes full Shiage-togi fine polishing, equipped with real Yokote and Chumaru rounded tip for authentic Nihonto aesthetics.
All metal fittings including tsuba, fuchi, kashira, habaki and seppa are solid copper with gold & silver gilded carved fortune patterns, delivering heavy premium texture and natural vintage patina over time. The Haichi-shaped tsuka core uses genuine ray skin wrapped with classic Moro-hineri-maki silk ito for stable non-slip grip. Solid hardwood saya is finished with high-gloss lacquer and embedded pearl shell ornaments for luxurious display texture. Built with fully disassemblable kobuse-gitae full tang structure, supported by two bamboo mekugi pegs for complete disassembly, cleaning and maintenance.
