Shadow Dancer 9260 Steel Hira Zukuri Katana

This beautiful and affordable katana from Shadow Dancer features a hira zukuri blade, a style used during the Heian period for tanto and ko-wakizashi. Forged from 9260 steel, the blade is heat-treated, oil-quenched, and includes a bohi to reduce weight and improve balance.

The katana is equipped with a brass aoi gata tsuba, fuchi, and kashira adorned with a dragon and waves motif. It also features brass menuki, seppa, and habaki. The Haichi style tsuka is covered with white genuine samegawa and wrapped with artificial silk ito. The blade is sheathed in an oil-lacquered saya with brass shitodome and a thick sageo.
