Hanwei Meijin Katana – Japanese Turbulent Ocean Motif

"Meijin," translating to "Expert" or "Master," is a distinguished title awarded in Japan to those who demonstrate exceptional skill—be it samurai in battle or sword practitioners in tameshigiri cutting tests.

Our Expert Meijin Katana embodies this legacy, offering a battle-ready (Shinken) blade expertly forged from T10 high-carbon steel. Featuring a traditional bohi groove, the sword is both resilient and precisely balanced, producing an unmistakably sharp and resonant tachikaze (the iconic sound of the blade slicing through air), beneficial to practitioners of all skill levels.

The handle is carefully constructed using genuine rayskin and premium cotton tsuka-ito wrap, beautifully accented with the classic Turbulent Ocean motif—historically favored by Japanese craftsmen and revered by samurai for its symbolism of unstoppable power and grace.

The katana comes complete with a matching wooden scabbard, elegantly finished in a contrasting matte and gloss lacquer, and fitted with a traditional cord wrap for secure handling and display.
