The Wave Katana from Kaneie Sword Art is an exceptionally balanced, light and fast sword suitable for collection or martial arts practice. The sword is named for the Wave (Nami) themed fittings and crab menuki.

The blade is differentially hardened T10, hand polished in the traditional manner to a full "art" polish. Details in the hamon are exquisite and must be seen in person to truly appreciate. The blade is a light and fast cutter, with little niku (appleseed edge geometry). Therefore this sword should only be used on traditional cutting targets such as tatami.

ABOUT KANEIE

Based out of Shanghai, Kaneie forges their own samurai sword blades adhering closely to the traditional Japanese shapes but use modern steels to produce a superior overall production sword. Many of the steel and alloy fittings are sourced from Japan as well as the handle wrap (ito). Kaneie carves the scabbard and handle from high quality woods and shapes them to a high standard not seen outside of high end custom swords and, of course, Japan.

The Menkyo collection is unique in every way and is the ultimate cross-over between ancient smithing techniques and modern steel. These swords feature a unique Choji hamon which has never been done before on a production sword. All this beauty comes together by a traditional sashikomi (old style) or kesho hadori (modern style) sword polish.

REVIEWS from the SBG Forums

I would recommend either of these swords to fellow martial artists -- Drew Tharp

It is hard to find such a polished package outside of Japan or the world of non Japanese master smiths and it gives the causal collector and practitioner a chance to own something close to the look and feel of a nihonto, without paying through the nose. -- Josh Marlan
