Koi katana

Koi carp are said to swim through rivers and waterfalls with a courage that rivals that of samurai. It is also said that if a koi is caught, it will stand still by the knife and bravely face death, like a samurai facing a deadly sword.

Paul Chen's Hanwei Koi Katana features a hand-forged T10 carbon steel blade that has been differentially hardened using a traditional clay-coating process.

This samurai sword has a black and white frame and a black ray skin covering ( same ) on the tsuka . The tsuka-ito is made of high-quality white cotton from Japan. A finely crafted koi motif adorns the blackened iron tsuba on both sides. The gorgeous fittings are antiqued, enhancing the aesthetics of the piece. The saya is painted deep black and features a black and white striped cotton sageo . To protect the sword, the koi katana comes with a matching cloth sheath and a traditional sword care kit.

You can complete your collection with the matching koi wakizashi (item number sh2466).
