Looking for an uncompromising weapon where ancient Japanese sword-making mastery meets profound symbolism? The hand-forged “Tsuru” (Crane) Samurai Katana Sword, crafted from 1095 Damascus steel, is the epitome of traditional swordsmithing. In Japanese culture, the crane represents longevity, fidelity, and good fortune—virtues mirrored in the very soul of this blade. Showcased on the included tabletop display stand, this katana makes a magnificent statement piece for any living room, executive study, or martial arts dojo, inspiring awe and pride in its owner.
Above all, this katana is a high-performance, fully functional cutting weapon. The blade is meticulously folded from high-carbon steel (yielding an impressive 8,000 layers), with the forging and hand-polishing process taking artisans weeks using traditional Japanese water stones. The result is an exceptionally sharp blade with a Maru structure, perfectly suited for professional test-cutting (tameshigiri)—effortlessly slicing through tatami mats, plastic bottles, and small-diameter wood.
Key Features & Specifications:
○Damascus Steel Blade with Horimono (28.7 in / 73 cm): Hand-forged and heat-treated from superior 1095 high-carbon steel (8,000 layers), showcasing an organic, natural grain pattern (hada). Uniquely, the base of the blade just above the habaki features a traditional engraved motif (horimono), giving the sword a truly exclusive, artistic look.
○Crane Motif & Authentic Hilt: The intricately patinated guard (tsuba) depicts an elegant flying crane with subtle gold accents. The wooden tsuka core is wrapped in genuine ray skin (samegawa) and tightly wound with traditional black cotton tsuka-ito.
○Black Saya & Deluxe Accessories: Includes a custom-fitted, high-gloss piano black lacquered wooden scabbard (saya) accented by a matching black cotton sageo cord. The complete set also comes with a floral-patterned purple fabric sword bag and a wooden display stand included at no extra cost.
○Dimensions & Weight: Total length is approx. 40.6 in (103 cm). Balanced to perfection, weighing only 2.2 lbs (1.0 kg), providing incredible agility, fluid handling, and precise control during cutting practice.
○FREE Custom Laser Engraving: We provide complimentary precision laser engraving directly onto the katana blade. To take advantage of this option, please enter your dedication text in the “Order Notes” box during checkout.
Please note: Due to the high carbon 1095 steel composition, the blade requires periodic cleaning and light oiling to protect against oxidation and corrosion.
