Katana Koi

Treat yourself to Katana Koi

Koi katana

Koi carp are said to swim through rivers and waterfalls with a bravery that rivals that of the samurai. It is also said that if the koi is caught, it will stand still next to 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, which has been differentially hardened using a traditional clay coating process.

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

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