Shadow Dancer Nova Purple Dragon Katana Double-Edged Kissaki Moroha

Radiant and commanding, Shadow Dancer’s Purple Double-Edged Dragon Katana is an embodiment of strength, transformation, and refined artistry.

The kissaki moroha zukuri (double-edged tip) blade forged from 1095 carbon steel offers an exceptionally sharp blade with an enhanced piercing ability. Due to the differential hardening process, the blade has a vivid gunome (wave-like) hamon that accentuates the aesthetics of the sword. Meanwhile, the double bohi (fullers) decreases the sword’s overall weight, improves its point of balance, and heightens the clarity of its tachikaze (cutting sound).

Darkened fittings etched with floral motifs such as those seen on the mokko gata (lobed-shape) tsuba add subtle sophistication. 

Following tradition, a single mekugi secures the blade to the wooden core handle covered in black samegawa wrapped tightly using a vibrant purple purple tsuka ito for a secure and comfortable grip.

The metallic purple saya shimmers with intricate dragon engravings in gold and silver— a timeless emblem of power and wisdom. A matching black-and-purple sageo completes the design.

Part of Shadow Dancer’s Nova Series, this katana captures the fusion of classical craftsmanship and imaginative modern design, making it a striking choice for collectors, enthusiasts, or as an unforgettable display piece.
