The Bamboo Mat Katana is a masterpiece of Japanese sword craftsmanship, forged from Hanwei’s exclusive high-alloy HWS-2S steel. This advanced blade steel, produced in Hanwei’s state-of-the-art facility, offers unmatched purity, edge retention, and resilience. Featuring a traditional chu-kissaki blade with a striking O-choji hamon, this katana is as beautiful as it is functional – the ideal choice for collectors and practitioners alike.
The fittings showcase a refined bamboo theme, with a black iron tsuba textured in an intricate bamboo mat design, accented by a jointed bamboo rim and gold-tipped bamboo leaves. The fuchi and kashira carry the same elegant motif, while the golden menuki display a delicate pair of sparrows. The high-gloss lacquer saya with horn fittings completes the refined appearance of this exceptional samurai sword.
In the tradition of the samurai, who carried both a katana and wakizashi, the Bamboo Mat Wakizashi is also available to complete your set. Please note: the sageo cord on the saya may vary in color and wrapping style from the images shown.
