Description

The Tenryū Katana (天竜 — Heavenly Dragon) is a high-grade tribute piece renowned for its iconic silhouette and distinctive cross-shaped guard. Hand-forged by skilled artisans, it delivers an authentic experience for collectors seeking one of the most recognizable and striking blade designs in modern lore.

Blade Construction & Performance

  • Blade Steel: 1060 high carbon steel delivering superior shock absorption, high tensile strength, and long-term structural resilience.

  • Forging Process: Authentically hand-forged (non-machined) to ensure a dense, uniform steel grain.

  • Visual Hamon: Features a prominent, fiery wave Hamon (temper line) pattern faithful to the legendary aesthetic.

  • Sharpness: Available in Sharpened (Razor-Sharp) or Unsharpened (Display Only).

Fittings & Craftsmanship (Koshirae)

  • Tsuba (Guard): Precision-sculpted solid iron featuring an iconic cross design engineered for hand protection and distinctive styling.

  • Tsuka (Handle): Ergonomic hardwood core calibrated for balanced weight distribution.

  • Handle Wrap: High-grade faux ray skin (Samegawa) underlay providing a non-slip, moisture-resistant grip.

  • Core Construction: Full-tang assembly secured with two traditional bamboo Mekugi pegs for maximum structural stability.

  • Ornaments: Sculpted iron Menuki accents integrated under the wrap for enhanced tactile detail.

  • Saya (Scabbard): Lightweight selected hardwood with high-gloss protective lacquer and custom detailing.
