SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Dragon King Sea Wave Katana captures the relentless power and flowing grace of the ocean with a striking blend of traditional artistry and modern steelwork. Designed for the serious martial artist and refined collector alike, this katana is a statement of craftsmanship, balance, and purpose.
The 27.62-inch blade is forged from a combination of folded T10 high carbon steel and 9260 spring steel, producing both resilience and flexibility in a single cutting edge. The layered construction results in a rippled grain pattern across the blade’s surface, evoking the visual energy of wind-stirred seas. This fusion of steels ensures durability under impact and excellent edge retention, making it not just beautiful, but battlefield-capable.
The blade is housed in a full-tang configuration, providing strength through the handle for reliable control during drawing and cutting. A cast metal tsuba in the shape of swirling sea waves guards the hand while reinforcing the katana’s oceanic theme. Every detail of the Sea Wave Katana reflects thoughtful design, from its solid steel fittings to the precision of its temper line.
The handle is wrapped in a vibrant blue cord over genuine white rayskin, offering both aesthetic contrast and a sure grip during use. This traditional tsuka-ito technique not only looks stunning but delivers tactile control for practitioners. Silvered accents and a cleanly fitted kashira and fuchi complete the elegant yet battle-ready hilt.
Measuring 40.37 inches overall and weighing just over 2 pounds, the Sea Wave Katana is well-balanced for drawing, kata, or cutting exercises. It includes a deep blue wooden saya with buffalo horn accents, offering both secure blade storage and a visual complement to the sword’s aquatic theme. The horn fittings enhance durability and lend a refined finish to the sheath, while the polished lacquer keeps the presentation sharp and dignified.
Built for those who understand the balance between force and finesse, the Dragon King Sea Wave Katana is a tribute to the timeless rhythm of nature and the precision of forged steel. Order it today from SMKW!
