Description
The Shirotatsu Katana — “White Dragon” — is a blade that embodies purity and power. Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel and clay-tempered by hand, it displays a clear hamon line that reflects both precision and tradition.
Blade (刀身): Forged with traditional differential hardening for durability and balance, its mirror-polished surface highlights the hamon beautifully.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in brown silk over genuine ray skin, offering a perfect mix of elegance and firm grip.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): A smooth white lacquered saya with soft golden wood grain patterns, designed for sophistication and contrast against the dark blade.
The Shirotatsu Katana represents harmony between serenity and strength — a weapon for those who value grace and power in equal measure.
