Description:

The blade of the Kodai Katana is meticulously hand-forged and polished with 12 distinct procedures, following ancestral techniques that ensure a superior finish.

With a perfect balance of cutting ability, strength, weight, and practicality, the blade is solid, extending to the handle to ensure maximum resistance to impact. Each katana is handcrafted and sharpened according to the molds of traditional katanas from feudal Japan, with parts assembled with precision to prevent any wobble during use.
