Kaneie Dragonfly; Martial Arts Grade Cutting Sword
This sword featuring a dragonfly themed fuchi and kashira is perfect for the martial artist looking for a well made sword for cutting practice without breaking the bank. The edge has healthy niku (appleseed edge geometry) and will stand up to any traditional tameshigiri (cutting practice) targets.
The Dragonfly Katana is part of the Okuden collection of Samurai Swords from Kaneie, swords designed for Japanese swordsmanship practitioners looking for a traditional blade. The blade is differentially hardened T10, hand polished in the traditional manner to a utilitarian martial arts polish. This level of polish skips the very costly last steps in performing a full art polish. The result is a blade and edge well suited to cutting practice on a variety of traditional targets.
