Shogun Tsuru Katana<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Handcrafted in a small town nestled in the Longquan mountains of China\u2019s Zhejiang province, where the tradition of skilled swordmaking began over 2,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Every part of this sword is expertly crafted by highly skilled smiths using centuries-old methods. The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and differentially clay-tempered using traditional methods, with the spine Rockwelling<\/strong> in the 45-48 HRC range and the harder cutting edge at 56-58 HRC. This ancient tempering method creates the hamon<\/strong> – the hard visible line left when the clay is removed. Each blade is honed and must be able to cleanly cut through a sheet of paper before it leaves the factory.<\/p>\n

The tsuba<\/strong>, collar<\/strong> and pommel<\/strong> feature the Crane<\/strong>, the ancient Japanese symbol of good fortune, longevity (Japanese mythology claimed the the Crane lived for a thousand years) and peace. Each is made of brass and given an aged finish. The grip<\/strong> is genuine Rayskin wrapped with cord.<\/p>\n

The wood scabbard<\/strong> is painted black with glossy sheen.<\/p>\n

Includes cotton storage<\/strong> bag.<\/p>\n

Also includes cleaning and maintenance kit<\/strong> for the care of Shogun Katanas<\/strong>, presented in a elegant wooden box<\/strong> that includes:<\/p>\n
