The return of a classic... our Tiger Katana from Hanwei is nostalgic reissue of the original (SH1204) folded steel katana made in the early 2000s.  The specifications are painstakingly reproduced for accurancy. 

The 29 3/4" K120C powder steel blade is differentially tempered with a traditional claying method to the grain patter (hada) showing distinct layers.  The temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent. the blade features groove (bo-hi) on both sides.  The tsuba is made from blackened iron depicting a "stalking tiger" inlaid in brass.  The ray skin (same) is covered on the handle (tsuka) with Japanese Cotton.  The saya is deeply lacquered in black and inlaid with brass bamboo leaves.  See our matching daisho set featuring the Classic Tiger Katana (SH12040),  Wakizashi (SH12050) and Tanto (SH12060).

Please note: the katana, wakizashi or tanto’s sageo (cord) on the saya (scabbard) may not be wrapped as pictured. Sageo color may vary.
