The Tonbo (Dragonfly) Katana by Hanwei captures the grace and strength of its namesake, blending traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Expertly hand-forged and folded from K120C powder steel, the blade reveals a beautiful grain pattern and delivers exceptional cutting performance.
Constructed using authentic materials and traditional techniques, the Tonbo Katana offers both aesthetic refinement and functional excellence. Its deep black lacquered saya is decorated with gold dragonfly designs, symbolizing agility and victory. The tsuka is wrapped in rich purple Japanese cotton over genuine samegawa (ray skin), ensuring a secure and comfortable grip.
The finely detailed tsuba, adorned with bronze and gold dragonflies, complements the blackened fuchi and kashira fittings. Each element reflects Hanwei’s dedication to historical accuracy and artistry, making the Tonbo Katana a perfect balance of form and function.
Every sword is unique — piece to piece may slightly vary, enhancing its authenticity and collector’s value.
