Ronin Katana Hand Forged Shirasaya Midare Hamon #1

The shirasaya katana is a bare blade housed within a wooden handle and scabbard, a method both historically and currently popular for preserving the blade and protecting it from rust or any external elements. This is one such shirasaya katana that comes with a blade collar, sharpened and ready for cutting practice on targets ranging from tatami mats to bamboo.

Its blade is crafted from T10 tool steel, renowned in the sword community for its durability. It has undergone a finger polish method using Japanese stones known as hazuya, which reveals the finest details in the blade such as the grain pattern and especially the hamon. This model features a Midare Hamon, which is lively and untamed.

The handle and scabbard are made of hardwood and have been lacquered to provide a shiny and reflective appeal.
