Tokugawa Katana Shinken – Handmade Katana Blade in Shirasaya Mount

The Tokugawa Katana Shinken belongs to the Shogun Elite series, the most refined and prestigious line in the YariNoHanzo collection. This full tang katana is designed for those seeking the highest standards in traditional Japanese swordsmithing—combining functional excellence with timeless elegance.

Traditional Orikaeshi Sanmai Construction

Forged using the historic Orikaeshi Sanmai method, the blade is constructed from three layers of high-carbon steel to provide superior durability, resilience, and cutting performance. The selective clay tempering process reveals a beautiful and authentic Gunome Choji-style Hamon, enhancing both visual depth and traditional value.

Functional Deep Bohi & Yasurime Details

A prominent Bohi groove runs along the blade, reducing weight and producing a rich tachikaze sound—an essential feature for advanced practitioners during Tameshigiri. The tang (Nakago) is finished with traditional Suji Chigai-style Yasurime, improving the grip fit and offering a signature artisan touch.

High-Grade Shirasaya Mount

The minimalist Shirasaya mount is crafted for complete disassembly without the use of tools. It allows for easy inspection and blade preservation. Clean, refined, and protective—this style is ideal for collectors and practitioners who value functionality and tradition.
