"Osmanthus in Autumn, Ten Miles of Lotus"

Inspired by the classic verse "San Qiu Gui Zi, Shi Li He Hua" (三秋桂子十里荷花), this blade captures the prosperity and beauty of a golden era. The "Autumn Dragon" (秋龍) Katana blends the ferocity of the dragon motif with the serene mindset of the mirror-polished steel.

Forged from resilient 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel, this blade is engineered for durability and impact resistance. The surface boasts a stunning High Mirror Polish, achieved through traditional "White Grind" techniques. This flawless finish acts as a mirror to the warrior's soul, reflecting clarity and discipline.

Functional Artistry: The scabbard (Saya) features a striking Dragon motif, symbolizing power and fortune, set against a deep gloss finish. The sword is mounted with premium Copper Fittings. It is a Full Tang functional instrument, heat-treated to 58 HRC with a "Big-V" edge geometry. It is capable of Tameshigiri on targets like bamboo, yet elegant enough to be a centerpiece in any collection.
