Lion Katana – T10 Notare Hamon Lion Relief Tsuba Dark Blue Tsuka Pearl Ray Skin Saya Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Lion Katana is oriental myth lion beast themed full-size samurai sword, fully differentiated from auspicious dragon damascus blade, ocean spray, vine floral and four-leaf clover sword series. Taking sacred golden lion as core myth totem, matched natural pearl dotted ray skin scabbard and deep navy blue grip, it targets myth beast collectors, retro warrior study decor and solemn cultural art gifts.
The blade adopts premium T10 high carbon steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential tempering craft, forming soft smooth notare continuous wave hamon, standard shinogi-zukuri profile without blood groove, subtle embossed yokote dividing line, rounded notarekomi kissaki tip, multi-stage soft mirror polishing and factory light sharp edge. The gentle wavy temper grain is fragile and easy to scratch; only slow static drawing display is allowed, heavy cutting and hard friction are strictly prohibited.
The full mounting hardware is antique bronze with dual-sided golden lion & cloud relief carving, circular hollow tsuba, cloud patterned fuchi & kashira, tiny cloud mini menuki ornaments and golden mesh solid raw copper habaki/seppa washers. The oval imogata grip uses genuine white dotted ray skin inner lining wrapped with thick deep navy blue moro-hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood fully wrapped with natural pearl dotted ray skin, matched thick dark blue braided cotton sage cord. Equipped with two natural bamboo mekugi pegs to form fully removable full tang, convenient for regular blade anti-rust maintenance. A navy fabric storage bag is provided as free gift; custom lion totem blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
