Handmade 1095 Carbon Steel T10 Damascus Katana Sword with Stand - Full Tang & Sharp

The Japanese katana, a traditional sword used by ancient samurai, is characterized by its curved blade, single edge, round or square guard, and long handle for two-handed use. Variations in size and shape include tachi, katana, wakizashi, kodachi, and tanto. Crafting a Japanese katana requires exceptional skill in steelmaking, water reduction, forging, steel matching, suyari, yakire, finishing, and other steps, demanding precise control and experience from the swordsmith. The history of the Japanese katana is divided into ancient times, the tachi era, the Muromachi period, and later stages, each with distinct styles and characteristics. This weapon also serves as a work of art and a cultural symbol, cherished and collected worldwide.

Inspired by the dragon-like Naga of Japanese legends, the design of the BLACK NAGA—QIANYING katana features a black crackle pattern on the sheath (Saya), mimicking the scales of Naga. In hopes of bringing beauty and happiness to people, the master of Dejiang named this katana Naga. It's important to note that handmade katanas have inherent imperfections including almost invisible polishing marks on the blade, Habaki, and subtle differences between katanas of the same style.

So, what makes a traditional Japanese katana? It includes a cross-wound rope handle, a single wooden peg for securing the blade, and a handle made of real Stingray skin with small irregular particles forming a beautiful pattern. For more information on identifying real handmade katanas, please refer to the instruction manual.

Dejiang adheres to ancient forging methods for crafting real katanas, using T10 carbon steel to create a blade that is fully tempered, heat treated, and hand forged to remove impurities, then tempered with clay to enhance toughness and flexibility, resulting in a unique blade grain (Hamon).
