Samurai Sword – Uesugi Kagetora 1060 High Carbon Steel

This katana is a standout in our luxury range of Iai swords, offering a number of improvements over entry-level Iai swords. The blade is forged from high carbon steel and is engineered for excellent balance and control, giving the user a more traditional kendo experience, in stark contrast to the more common zinc-aluminum blades on the market.

Designed from the ground up for practicality, our steel blades are made for everyday Iaido and fencing practice, with optimized weight distribution, which reduces the risk of repetitive motion injuries associated with using cheaper, heavy or poorly balanced steel blades.

This Iai sword is unsharpened by default, but we offer a free hand-sharpening service for trial cuts. The blade is well-assembled, the handle is tightly rolled, and each knife is handcrafted to ensure its unique quality and personality.

Whether for practice or collection, this Iai sword will be your perfect choice.
