The Shinwa Imperial Dragon Handmade Katana is a breathtaking tribute to mythical power and masterful craftsmanship. Its 28 3/4” Damascus steel blade is hand-forged with over 2,000 layers, forming mesmerizing wave and swirl patterns across the steel. This full-tang blade is forged using time-honored techniques, delivering strength, sharpness, and a unique aesthetic that only true Damascus can offer. The tsuka features genuine white ray skin, tightly wrapped with black braided ito and adorned with detailed brass menuki, offering both visual contrast and a secure, traditional grip. This katana’s artistry continues with a custom cast metal tsuba and a brass habaki that add rustic character and balance. The saya is a showpiece in itself—hand-lacquered with a mother of pearl dragon inlay that shimmers with prismatic color, framed by additional sun and cloud designs for added cultural depth. Measuring 40” overall, the Shinwa Imperial Dragon Katana is ideal for display or collection, uniting the elegance of Japanese tradition with the fierce majesty of its legendary namesake.

Its a good Katana

"When I got this sword I was ecstatic. It is a very beautiful blade and very well put together, and there is no rattle in the hilt. However, the only problem i have with this blade is when I cut a small 16 oz plastic bottle of water in half with it. The cut was successful however once i looked at the blade afterwards i noticed to nicks in it. Still, its a very excellent sword overall (I guess I`m going to sharpen it now). Still, I would recommend this as a somewhat functional sword. Just be careful with it, it is very sharp out of the box. I had plans to make this part of my bug out bag but now im not so sure."
