Kimotsuki Katana – Razor-Sharp Shinken for Kenjutsu and Battodo

The Kimotsuki Katana is a fully functional shinken, designed for precision, power, and balance in Kenjutsu, Battodo, and Tameshigiri. Combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting efficiency, this battle-ready katana is ideal for those seeking a high-performance sword for real cutting practice.

Clay-Tempered Blade with Authentic Gunome Chōji Hamon

Forged from AISI 1060 high-carbon steel, the blade undergoes clay tempering with differential hardening, producing a genuine Gunome Chōji hamon that enhances both durability and aesthetics. The Maru Kitae forging method ensures flexibility and resilience, while the Bohi (groove) reduces weight, improving handling and generating a clear Tachikaze sound during practice.

    - Razor-sharp, full tang shinken, optimized for Tameshigiri and real cutting
    - Designed for slicing through tatami omote (straw mats) and bamboo targets effortlessly
    - Perfectly balanced for Kenjutsu and Battodo, allowing for smooth and powerful strikes

Enhanced Tsuka for Maximum Grip and Durability

The tsuka is wrapped in premium hazelnut brown cotton ito, woven in Katatemaki style, ensuring a firm and reliable grip for controlled cuts. Beneath the wrap, the genuine black ray skin (samegawa) reinforces the structure, adding durability and authenticity. The iron tsuba featuring a Tsuru (crane) motif symbolizes grace and strength, making it both functional and elegant.

Refined Lacquered Saya for a Sophisticated Finish

- The black lacquered wooden saya offers both protection and durability, maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

- Sageo not included, allowing for personal customization.
