Katana – Hojo Tokimune Memorial Model 1060 High Carbon Steel

This authentic katana is meticulously hand-forged and hand-sharpened using traditional Japanese techniques, making it an exceptional blade for iaido, kenjutsu, and tameshigiri (cutting practice). The heat-treated, tempered, and oil-quenched 1060 high-carbon steel blade achieves the perfect balance of flexibility and hardness, ensuring durability and performance. Each sword undergoes hand-polishing with multiple sharpening stones, resulting in a flawless, mirror-like finish.

The katana features a dark green lacquered hardwood saya (scabbard), wrapped with premium silk sageo and ito (handle cord), along with solid alloy fittings and authentic rayskin (samegawa) for a traditional grip. The full tang construction is secured with two bamboo mekugi (pegs) for maximum strength.

Ideal for martial arts practitioners, collectors, and enthusiasts, this sword is suitable for dojo training, cutting exercises, display, or as a prestigious gift. Each piece is individually handcrafted, ensuring slight variations that make every katana unique. Built to last, it performs exceptionally in tameshigiri (test cutting) on tatami, bamboo, and other targets.
