Hamon..

That elusive visual evidence of a differentially hardened blade that shows clearly where the edge is hardened (yakiba) and what part of the blade is softer and more shock absorbent.

It is often subtle, shifting in and out of the light – but T10 tool steel seems to allow it to show a lot clearer than many other sword steels. And NONE clearer than the Kohaku Katana by Dragon King..

Just take a look at how richly defined and prominent this hamon temper line is on this piece:

An incredibly prominent and clearly defined hamon is what sets this sword apart from so many others

And where many blades have a tip (kissaki) that is counterpolished and ugly – after all, polishing the kissaki is almost as much work as polishing the rest of the blade due to its curved geometry – the Kohaku is, well, pretty much perfect.

Pretty much a PERFECT kissaki with amazing polish and stunning boshi

But the Kohaku is the complete package – with silver habaki, seppa and menuki, buffalo horn on the saya, iron koshirae, real rayskin – all done in a classic ‘Koi’ theme.

Great blade, great fittings and great price. What more can you ask for?

Another hot special by our friends at Dragon King – this month we see a huge discount on their new Fletching Katana – a 65mn (Manganese) steel blade with attractive, Japanese archery themed fittings.

The blade of this one is, as mentioned, 65mn steel – which has the following properties:

65Mn is a readily-available Chinese steel that is formulated to provide good wear resistance and hardness. The medium-high carbon content makes for a high degree of toughness and resilience, while the manganese, in addition to improving these properties, improves the hot-working characteristics of the steel, making it an excellent candidate for forged sword blades.

65Mn Steel Composition: 0.62-0.7C 0.9-1.2Mn 0.17-0.37Si

As such, the end result is a hard wearing, yet traditional blade that you can count on to perform time and time again.

Truly amazing value at just $299.99 with FREE SHIPPING – grab these while you can.
