Gift Lion Dog Katana

Lion dog katana

The Lion Dog Katana features an O-Kissaki blade made from Hanwei's HWS-1S high alloy steel, which combines superior performance with an excellent O-Choji ( Hamon ) hardening line.

This steel is manufactured in Hanwei's new high-tech forge and the result is a state of the art blade that is one of the best Hanwei has ever produced in terms of edge retention and durability.

HWS-1S steel blades owe their excellent performance characteristics to a combination of carefully selected alloys and complex processing that manipulates the carbon content of the steel throughout the blade. This results in a very robust and durable blade with a hard, wear-resistant edge. Detailed details include a blackened iron tsuba with a guardian lion motif, matching fuchi and kashira , as well as a golden peony-like menuki .

The elaborate saya consists of a fluted and glossy lacquered section on the koiguchi/kurikata and a painted underside with a splashed look - what an eye-catcher! an appearance ensures. The high-quality multicoloured sageo is hand-woven from pure silk.

You can complete your collection with the matching lion dog wakizashi (item number sh2449).
