Kusunoki Katana – Razor-Sharp Shinken for Kenjutsu and Battodo

The Kusunoki Katana is a fully functional shinken, designed for precision, balance, and powerful cutting performance. Perfect for Kenjutsu, Battodo, and Tameshigiri, this katana offers exceptional craftsmanship with a razor-sharp edge, ensuring an authentic experience for martial artists and collectors alike.

Clay-Tempered Blade with Authentic Gunome Chôji Hamon

Forged from AISI 1060 high-carbon steel, the blade undergoes clay tempering with differential hardening, creating a genuine Gunome Chôji hamon that enhances both durability and cutting ability. The Maru Kitae forging method ensures flexibility and strength, while the Bohi (groove) reduces weight, improving control and responsiveness during cutting exercises.

    - Razor-sharp, full tang shinken, built for Tameshigiri and real cutting practice
    - Designed for slicing through tatami omote (straw mats) and bamboo targets with ease
    - Optimized balance for Kenjutsu and Battodo, providing smooth and powerful strikes

Reinforced Tsuka for Maximum Control and Durability

The tsuka is wrapped in black cotton ito, using an alternating tsukamaki weave with hishigami, ensuring a secure grip and superior handling. Beneath the wrap, the genuine black ray skin (samegawa) adds strength and authenticity, making the grip firm and comfortable. The silver-plated koshirae and traditional-style tsuba enhance the katana’s aesthetic appeal.

Elegant Lacquered Saya for Protection and Durability

- The Kuroro black lacquered wooden saya is both sturdy and refined, ensuring optimal protection for the blade while complementing the katana’s sleek and traditional look.

- Sageo not included, allowing for personalization.
