Snapdragon Katana – T10 Choji Hamon Silver Hollow Dragon Tsuba Black Grain Saya Navy Tsuka Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Snapdragon Katana is traditional oriental dragon warrior themed full-size samurai sword, fully differentiated from sun moon yin-yang blade, begonia floral mini wakizashi, dark time sword and plant literati series. Centered on hollow three-dimensional snapdragon silver relief hand guard, matched deep navy blue woven handle and unique black grain matte solid wood scabbard, it targets dragon culture collectors, retro warrior study decor and solemn oriental cultural art gifts.
The blade adopts premium T10 high carbon steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential tempering craft, forming neat choji clove continuous wave hamon, standard shinogi-zukuri profile without blood groove, clear embossed yokote reinforcement line, classic notarekomi kissaki tip, multi-stage taganeha mirror polishing and factory light sharp edge. Delicate layered temper grain is prone to scratches; only slow static drawing appreciation is allowed, heavy cutting and violent friction are strictly prohibited.
The full mounting hardware is matte silver plated alloy with hollow snapdragon relief carving, including circular hollow dragon tsuba, cloud patterned fuchi & kashira, tiny cloud mini menuki ornaments and 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 coated exclusive black grain matte lacquer, matched black & gold mixed 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 premium fabric katana storage bag is provided as free gift; custom snapdragon blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
