Dragon King Summer Lotus Katana SD35200

The Dragon King Summer Lotus Katana blends time-honored tradition with battle-ready craftsmanship in a blade forged for serious practitioners and collectors alike. Every element of this sword reflects a deep respect for classical Japanese design, rugged performance, and striking aesthetics.

At the heart of the Summer Lotus Katana is a 28.12" blade crafted from 5160 forged carbon steel. Renowned for its durability and toughness, 5160 steel offers excellent resilience under stress, making it ideal for rigorous cutting practice or martial arts demonstration. The blade’s satin finish adds a refined touch while maintaining a practical, non-reflective surface that complements its serious character.

The full tang construction ensures strength from blade to handle, providing the user with optimal balance and control. A traditional black cord wrap surrounds the genuine rayskin (samegawa) handle, giving both grip security and an authentic feel in the hand. The profile is tight and comfortable, well-suited for both traditional two-handed use and modern cutting techniques.

The katana’s fittings reinforce its cohesive, tactical aesthetic. A blackened tsuba, shaped with elegant simplicity, acts as a guard without distracting from the overall visual harmony of the blade. The matching black metal fuchi and kashira continue the subdued theme while adding durability and structure to the handle’s build.

The included saya (scabbard) is every bit as thoughtfully designed. It features a green textured lacquered finish, wrapped in coordinating black cord, that provides both visual contrast and a secure grip for drawing or re-sheathing. Durable and elegantly made, the scabbard protects the blade while adding to the katana’s impressive presence.

Weighing 2 pounds and 8 ounces and stretching to a full 41.12" overall, the Summer Lotus Katana is light enough for fluid handling but substantial enough to command respect in form and function. It’s a sword that feels as good in motion as it looks on display. Order it today from SMKW!
