Like a crane soaring through the mist, the spirit of this blade is one of grace, longevity, and untethered freedom. The "Cloud Crane" (雲鶴) Katana combines the resilience of 5160 steel with the elegance of traditional copper artistry.

The surface features a breathtaking High Mirror Polish, achieved through the traditional "White Grind" process. This arduous technique creates a blade so flawless it reflects the world around it like a still lake.

Functional & Refined: Paired with premium Pure Copper Fittings depicting the auspicious Cloud Crane motif, this sword is built for the disciplined martial artist. It features a Full Tang construction and is heat-treated to 58 HRC. The "Big-V" edge geometry is honed for precision, making it capable of Tameshigiri on targets like bamboo, yet refined enough for the collector's display.
