Kikuchi Katana – Precision and Power for Tameshigiri  

The Kikuchi Katana is a masterfully crafted blade, designed for those who demand precision, balance, and cutting performance. Every detail has been refined to create a sword that is powerful yet perfectly maneuverable, making it an exceptional choice for both enthusiasts and practitioners.  

Expertly Forged for Superior Cutting Ability  

The differentially clay-tempered blade, made from high-carbon AISI 1060 steel, features an authentic hamon, showcasing the traditional Japanese heat-treatment technique. This process ensures a perfect balance between a razor-sharp edge and a resilient spine, allowing for clean and efficient cuts. The Bohi (fuller) enhances handling and produces a distinctive sound during each swing.  

Designed for Tameshigiri, the Kikuchi Katana excels in cutting tatami mats and even more demanding targets like bamboo, demonstrating its exceptional durability and cutting power.  

Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Modern Precision  

- Superior Grip and Stability – The tsuka (handle) is wrapped in premium blue silk tsukaito over genuine samegawa (ray skin), offering a secure and comfortable grip, even during intense practice.  

- Authentic Koshirae with High-Quality Materials – The elegant Mokko-style tsuba, paired with a buffalo horn kashira, ensures both durability and aesthetic appeal, making this katana a standout piece.  

- Premium Lacquered Saya – The black Han Sendan Kuroro lacquered wooden saya provides a sleek, polished finish while reinforcing the katana’s structure and protecting the blade when not in use.  

- Perfectly Balanced for Cutting Efficiency – The Kikuchi Katana is designed to provide smooth handling, optimal weight distribution, and exceptional control, making it an outstanding choice for those serious about testing their cutting techniques.
