The Mokusen Katana is a masterpiece that celebrates the fusion between ancestral tradition and modern innovation. With inscriptions on the blade proclaiming, “I BELONG TO THE WARRIOR WHERE THE OLD STYLE MET THE NEW,” this sword is a tribute to the legacy of ancient masters and an excellent tool for the contemporary warrior. Forged with precision and passion, the Mokusen Katana is more than a weapon; it is an extension of the spirit and dedication of its wielder.

Description:

The blade of the Mokusen Katana is meticulously hand-forged and polished with 12 distinct procedures, a process that reflects the depth and dedication of ancient forging methods. Sharp and resilient, the katana has surpassed all cutting tests (Tameshigiri), demonstrating its superior performance in heavy and light cuts. With an exemplary balance between cutting ability, strength, weight, and practicality, the blade is solid, extending to the handle to ensure unparalleled durability upon impact. The katana is handmade and sharpened according to the molds of traditional feudal Japanese katanas, with parts precisely adjusted to prevent any imbalance during handling.
