Shadow Dancer Sashikomi Polishing Ko-Choji Katana

Combining vibrant shades of purple against midnight black, this regal masterpiece from Shadow Dancer is alluringly magnetic. Its shinogi zukuri (ridge line runs along the blade’s length on both sides) blade undergoes differential heat treatment and is sashikomi polished, bringing life to the stunning ko-choji (small clusters of clove flowers) hamon and jihada.

Perfect for any enthusiast, this katana is equipped with high-quality fittings—including a blackened iron maru gata (round) tsuba along with cupronickel fuchi and kashira—with wave motifs, symbolizing eternity, resilience, and the power of nature. This reminds warriors the importance of adaptability and an indomitable spirit. Copper toned seppa and habaki add warmth to complement the sword’s design.

True to tradition, a mekugi secures the full tang blade to the wooden core Haichi style tsuka covered in black genuine samegawa, wrapped tightly using Japanese imported silk in the tsumami maki style. 
This katana comes sheathed in a saya finished with high quality piano paint. It features a cupronickel shitodome that prevents the thick sageo from fraying.
