A Blade Forged for Ferocious Performance

Damascus Steel: Beauty and Resilience

The soul of this sword is its meticulously crafted Damascus steel blade. The steel is repeatedly folded by hand, creating a thousand layers that result in a mesmerizing, flowing grain pattern. This process not only produces a blade of remarkable beauty but also enhances its resilience. Paired with a professional oil-quenched heat treatment, this blade achieves a uniform hardness and unparalleled durability, making it an exceptionally reliable tool for serious cutting practice.

The Koshirae of the King of Beasts

What truly sets this wakizashi apart is its Lion Koshirae (fittings). The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira are all made of high-quality iron and feature a powerful, detailed lion motif. In Japanese culture, the lion is a symbol of authority, nobility, and protection—the very spirit of the samurai. These bold fittings transform the sword into a regal artifact, perfectly balancing the rugged beauty of the Damascus blade with a powerful, symbolic design.
