Shinto Katana The popular Shinto Katana (1017-WW) is the corner stone of our Hanwei line of Samurai weapons. The Shinto is mounted in black and the tsuka-ito is in Japanese cotton over ray skin. The black iron tsuba is formed by a finely rendered dragon, detailed in gold, with true back-and-front detail. The blade is hand-forged in high-carbon steel and is edge-tempered using the traditional clay tempering method, resulting in a distinct hamon. Edge hardness is 60HRC, back hardness 40HRC. The grip is double-pegged to the tang for safety. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
