Free Care Kit with Every Order The “Imperial Reach”: A Tribute to Classical Geometry This masterwork is designed for the discerning collector who appreciates historical authenticity. Breaking away from standard katana proportions, this blade features a massive 80cm (31.5″) length paired with a deep 2.7cm curvature (Sori) and a compact 18cm (7″) handle. This unique geometry mimics the graceful silhouette of the Heian-period Tachi, prioritizing elegance, reach, and a majestic presence. The Steel: Tamahagane Replica Authentic Hada (Grain): Unlike standard “Pattern Steel” or “Damascus” which often feature exaggerated, high-contrast layers, this blade is forged using Tamahagane Replica Steel. Subtle & Natural: The forging process is strictly controlled to recreate the subtle, natural wood-grain pattern (Itame/Masame Hada) found in authentic antique swords. It captures the spirit and density of traditional Tatara steel without the artificial look of acid-etched blades. Premium Materials & Fittings Genuine Urushi Lacquer : The scabbard (Saya) is finished with authentic Natural Urushi. Unlike synthetic paints, genuine Urushi takes weeks to cure, creating a finish that is incredibly hard, deep, and resistant to aging. Imported Japanese Leather : The Tsuka is wrapped in Premium Japanese Leather. This material offers a superior, tacky grip that is far more durable than silk and develops a beautiful patina over time. Solid White Bronze Fittings : The Fuchi, Kashira, and Kojiri are crafted from Solid White Bronze (Cupronickel). This material offers the brilliance of silver but with superior hardness and resistance to tarnishing. Deep Sori Geometry: The 2.7cm curvature is significantly deeper than modern katanas, giving the sword a sweeping, lethal curve ideal for display. Available Finishes The Emerald: Green Sparkle Urushi Saya Green Japanese Leather. The Obsidian: Black Kuro-ro Urushi Saya Black Japanese Leather. The Crimson: Red Gold Nashiji Urushi Saya Tan Japanese Leather.
