Description:

SL1322 is a katana with a shinogi zukurigeometry. Its blade is made of folded 1095 high carbon steel. The blade has no groove and the folding of the blade during forging produces a very distinct and beautiful raindrop pattern. This is different from the appearance of the usual folded steel which has a wavy hada. The hada on this blade looks like irregularly-shaped ripples.

Battle ready, not just a collectible.
Traditional craftsmanship, hand forged, hand polished.
Perfect balance, comfortable grip.
