GVA " SHOGUN " / 1095 High Carbon Steel / Clay Tempered / Master Hammon

GVA "SHOGUN" - Custom Clay Tempered - 1095 CS- Samurai Katana

 This gorgeous katana is handforged of  beautiful 1095 High Carbon steel and is Clay Tempered to form a stunningly individual Hammon on a

 highly polished quality blade. (Forged by our Master Bladesmith and completely exclusive to Guardians Vault Australia)

 Let me just start out by saying one thing : This blade is extremely difficult to photograph !!

After 3 months of design / preparation and forging - this blade has been completed.

Suitable for the hands of a professional only, in martial arts demonstrations and for the walls / sword cabinets /racks of collectors.

Outstanding attention to detail , authentic ray-skin on the Tsuka (Black) with black cotton Ito wrap.

The Saya is hardwood with incredible triple lacquer finish showing a modified Urakami / Tokugawa / Honda clan Mon. (symbol).

The Tsuba is thinner than average measuring a mere 2.5 - 3mm and is stunninly presented with an extruded pattern giving this blade a very traditional look.

The blade is sharpened to fine/sharp and is highly polished using multiple grade stones and ready to turn heads with its incredible clay tempered edge!!

There is also no Bo-hi on this blade (lightening groove) which makes it a very very nice weight for those that like their katana with a great centre of gravity and a fuller feeling blade.

Full custom , hand made 1095  high carbon steel blade (58HRC) with the most beautiful Hammon clay tempering pattern work by our master smith that i have ever seen to date.

Katatemaki two handed battle wrap on the Tsuka (handle) which is slightly longer and brass bamboo themed fittings for the Fuchi & Kashira.

More than pictures can show and entirely not enough words to describe.

This blade also comes with a hand inked A4 page by our legendary Japanese Kanji Artist - Kana Shindome featuring

the characters for "SHOGUN" and silk katana cover.
