"Cloud Dragon" (雲龍) 5160 Steel Tachi | Mirror Polish Functional Sword

$988.00

"When Wind Meets Cloud"

Like the legendary verse "Gold scales are no object of the pond; once they meet the wind and clouds, they transform into dragons" (一遇风云便化龙), the "Cloud Dragon" (雲龍) Tachi represents potential unleashed. It is a symbol of rising power and unyielding ambition.

Resilient 5160 Performance: Forged from tough 5160 High Carbon Spring Steel, this blade is engineered for high impact resistance and flexibility. It features a "distal taper" design—gradually thinning from the guard to the tip—creating a blade that feels alive in the hand. The surface is hand-polished to a stunning High Mirror Finish through 13 stages of water grinding, reflecting the world like a still lake.

Functional Tachi Style: The fittings feature the dynamic Cloud Dragon motif, cast in durable alloy. The scabbard is crafted from aromatic Cypress Wood (柏木) with a protective lacquer finish. With its optimized "Big-V" edge geometry, this Full Tang sword offers minimal cutting resistance and exceptional durability, capable of heavy Tameshigiri on bamboo targets without edge deformation.
