The heart of this sword is a 30-inch Damascus steel blade, forged with the signature layered pattern that marks the steel’s strength and artistry. Known for its durability and cutting power, Damascus steel has been prized by warriors for generations. The distinct ripple pattern isn't just for looks—it reflects the folded layers that enhance the blade’s toughness and resistance to edge damage. Sharp, straight, and perfectly aligned, this blade is ready for real cutting or kata work, not just wall display.
The 11-inch handle is wrapped in genuine ray skin and traditional cord, offering a solid grip and natural texture that stays secure in the hand, even during extended sessions. The attention to detail carries over to the elegant flower tsuba—a decorative yet functional guard that sets this katana apart. It provides balance, finger protection, and adds a refined touch without sacrificing strength.
The black saya (scabbard) complements the overall design with a clean, minimalist finish. It fits the blade smoothly and securely, protecting the edge while adding to the sword’s traditional presentation. Whether it’s slung over the shoulder or laid across a display stand, the saya reinforces the katana’s ready-for-action look and feel.
With an overall length of 41 inches, this Onikiri katana offers optimal reach and control, perfect for martial artists, historical enthusiasts, or collectors who want more than just a decorative piece. It’s a functional blade with a heritage feel—crafted for those who value both tradition and performance. Order it today from SMKW!
