The Kamakiri Katana Shinken is a refined masterpiece in YariNoHanzo’s Superior Series, meticulously designed for advanced practitioners of Kenjutsu, Battodo, and Tameshigiri. This premium handmade sword represents the perfect balance between historical reverence and cutting performance.

At the heart of this katana lies a powerful Maru Kitae blade, forged from 1095 high carbon steel and clay tempered to create a striking Gunome Choji hamon. The hamon is not only aesthetically stunning, but also a sign of the differential hardening process, which creates a sharp edge and a resilient spine—ideal for intensive cutting practice. The blade includes a bohi (groove) for better balance and sound feedback, and ends in a Chu-Kissaki, offering precision in thrusts and cuts.

This sword is built with a full tang, secured by two mekugi (bamboo pins) for maximum structural integrity during use. The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in high-quality brown silk tsukaito, using the Hinerimaki style with hishigami for durability and traditional aesthetics. Beneath the wrap lies genuine Samegawa (ray skin), offering both grip and authenticity.

The standout feature of this katana is its rare and elegant Kamakiri Koshirae—inspired by praying mantis motifs found in antique fittings preserved in Japanese museums. The tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and menuki all reflect this unique theme, symbolizing precision, patience, and power—characteristics highly respected in martial culture.

The saya (scabbard) is finished in sleek black lacquer and fitted with real buffalo horn koiguchi, kurikata, and kojiri, ensuring durability and refined aesthetics. Each katana is supplied without sageo, allowing customization, and comes with an elegant burgundy cotton sword bag for safe storage and presentation.

Each Kamakiri Katana Shinken undergoes rigorous quality control by YariNoHanzo, guaranteeing a sword that is battle-ready, historically inspired, and built to last. Whether you're a practitioner looking for a serious training tool or a collector seeking excellence, this katana delivers in every way.
