Red-Crowned Crane Katana | T10 Maru No-Hi Mottled Hamon Samurai Sword with Full Ox Horn Saya Fittings
Product Introduction
The Red-Crowned Crane Katana takes the red-crowned crane, a classic symbol of longevity and fortune, as its core design theme, positioned as a mid-range functional collectible sword priced at $489.99. The blade adopts T10 high-carbon maru mono steel without blood groove (No Hi), processed by traditional Tsuchioki clay tempering to form unique irregular mottled hamon. The whole blade receives full fine grinding with real hand-forged yokote and standard shinogizukuri blade profile, fully sharpened for daily tameshigiri cutting practice and display collection.
All metal accessories including tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, seppa and habaki are solid copper with gold & silver plating, carved with delicate red-crowned crane patterns. The handle core is wrapped with genuine ray skin and woven cotton tsukamaki for stable anti-slip grip. The solid wood paint saya is equipped with full ox horn koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri for premium wear-resistant texture. The sword adopts fully disassemblable full tang construction fixed by two bamboo mekugi pegs, convenient for regular blade maintenance. The total weight is only 1.35kg and desheathing weight 1.1kg, light and easy to wield for beginners and veteran collectors.
