The Nobunaga Katana Shinken stands among the most iconic and appreciated swords in the YariNoHanzo Superior Series. Celebrated by collectors and martial artists alike, this katana is a perfect fusion of historical elegance and cutting-edge functionality—offering impressive aesthetics, cutting power, and refined balance.

Inspired by the enduring legacy of Oda Nobunaga, this katana features a bold and striking koshirae that delivers a commanding visual presence. The fittings are influenced by a historical piece preserved from the Edo-Meiji period, giving the sword authentic roots and a timeless spirit.

At the core of the Nobunaga Katana lies a high-performance blade made of 1095 high carbon steel, hand-forged using the Maru Kitae construction method. The blade is clay tempered, creating a distinctive Gunome Choji hamon, which is both visually stunning and functionally significant. The bohi (groove) lightens the blade without compromising its strength, enhancing balance and generating tachikaze (cutting sound) during swings—essential for practitioners of Battodo and Tameshigiri.

Though slightly heavier than other YariNoHanzo katana, the Nobunaga model remains remarkably well-balanced, making it ideal for both advanced users and dedicated students of Japanese swordsmanship. The O-Kissaki (extended tip) enhances its versatility, making it suitable for precise cuts and thrusting techniques.

The tsuka is wrapped in premium black silk tsukaito in the traditional Hineri Maki style, with hishigami inserted for a tight and consistent wrap. Underneath lies genuine Samegawa (ray skin), ensuring grip integrity and durability under frequent practice. The full tang blade is securely mounted with two mekugi (bamboo pins) for structural stability and safety.

The black lacquered saya is fitted with real buffalo horn koiguchi, kojiri, and kurikata, ensuring longevity and elegance. Each sword is supplied without sageo, and includes an elegant burgundy cotton bag, ideal for transport or presentation.

Each Nobunaga Katana is subjected to rigorous YariNoHanzo quality control, ensuring that every piece meets professional standards. Whether you are purchasing for practice, collection, or both, this katana offers an unmatched combination of heritage, functionality, and martial beauty.
