The Saito Katana Shinken is a high-performance, handmade Japanese sword designed for martial artists, collectors, and sword enthusiasts seeking superior craftsmanship and cutting ability. Forged using the Maru Kitae technique from folded 1060 high carbon steel, the blade undergoes a meticulous layering process where two contrasting steels are repeatedly heated, folded, and forged together. This results in a unified, resilient blade with a striking Damascus-style pattern, where each fold is visible and unique—offering both structural integrity and aesthetic excellence.

The blade is clay tempered and features a bohi (fuller) for reduced weight and improved maneuverability. It is full tang, secured to the handle with two mekugi (bamboo pins) to ensure long-term strength and safe practice during intense training in Tameshigiri, Battōdō, and Kenjutsu.

The tsuka is wrapped in high-quality black Italian leather (Tsukagawa) using the alternate Tsukamaki technique, over genuine ray skin (Samegawa) for enhanced grip, durability, and visual appeal. The sword is equipped with a traditional Mokko-shaped tsuba and housed in a sleek black lacquered wood saya. It is supplied with an elegant purple cotton bag. (Note: Sageo not included.)

Perfectly balanced and suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners, the Saito Katana is not only a functional weapon but also a collector-grade piece that has passed the strict YariNoHanzo quality control.
