Unleash the spirit of the samurai sword with the Hunter Katana SH2471, a masterfully crafted ambachtelijk (artisan) weapon by Hanwei. Forged in traditional Shinogi Zukuri style using high-performance L6 bainite steel, this samurai katana combines strength, flexibility, and superior shock absorption — ideal for both collectors and martial artists. The subdued green silk ito, matching sageo, and green-striped lacquered saya elegantly contrast a blackened tsuba with golden raptor motif—a fierce symbol of precision and grace.
This hand-made katana is not only a functional cutting sword but also a work of art rooted in centuries of Japanese forging tradition. Whether you practice tameshigiri or display it in a dojo or home, the Hunter Katana delivers unmatched craftsmanship and performance.
