Ishiki Katana – Razor-Sharp Shinken for Kenjutsu and Battodo

The Ishiki Katana is a finely crafted battle-ready shinken, designed for Kenjutsu, Battodo, and Tameshigiri. This katana is a modern reinterpretation of one of YariNoHanzo’s classic models, now enhanced with superior craftsmanship, refined aesthetics, and exceptional cutting performance. Ideal for practitioners and collectors, it blends tradition, precision, and power into a single weapon.

Clay-Tempered Blade with Authentic Suguha Hamon

Hand-forged from AISI 1060 high-carbon steel, the blade undergoes a traditional clay tempering process, producing a genuine Suguha hamon that enhances both durability and aesthetic appeal. The Maru Kitae forging method ensures resilience and flexibility, while the Bohi (groove) reduces weight and improves handling, making it ideal for smooth and powerful cuts.

    - Razor-sharp, full tang shinken, crafted for Tameshigiri and real cutting practice
    - Designed for slicing through tatami omote (straw mats) and even harder targets like bamboo
    - Perfect balance for Kenjutsu and Battodo, offering control and precision in every movement

Reinforced Tsuka for Maximum Grip and Stability

The tsuka is wrapped in high-quality black cotton ito, secured with an alternating tsukamaki weave with hishigami, ensuring a firm grip and long-lasting durability. Beneath the wrap, the genuine black ray skin (samegawa) reinforces structure and provides an authentic feel. The silver-plated koshirae and traditional crane-themed tsuba add a refined aesthetic, elevating the katana’s visual appeal.

Elegant Lacquered Saya for Protection and Durability

- The high-gloss black Kuroro lacquered wooden saya not only protects the blade but also adds a touch of sophistication and traditional elegance to the katana.

- Sageo not included, allowing for customization.
