Unleash the Warrior Within with the Shikoto Touchstone Handmade Legacy Katana. This exquisite sword is not just a weapon but a testament to centuries of perfected sword-making artistry. Each Legacy Katana is a masterpiece, hand-forged by seasoned artisans using ancient techniques that date back to the Bronze Age of Japan. The heart of this katana is its formidable 27 1/4” T10 high carbon steel blade, renowned for its toughness and legendary sharpness, achieved through the revered process of clay tempering. The Legacy Katana’s blade boasts a natural hamon line that not only enhances its cutting capability but also stands as a mark of genuine craftsmanship. This differential hardening process, where the edge is cooled rapidly while the spine cools slowly, results in a blade with unmatched edge retention and a spine that can absorb significant impact without breaking. The tsuka, or handle, is meticulously wrapped in genuine ray skin same, providing a grip that is as beautiful as it is functional. The warm, tea-dyed patina of the ray skin contrasts elegantly with the black ito wrapping, offering both comfort and control. The tsuba, made from solid iron, features a tastefully simple relief design that complements the katana’s striking aesthetics.
