$588.00

"Stars Hang Low Over the Vast Plains"

Inspired by the vastness of the wilderness, the "Nagano" (長野) Katana represents the endurance required to traverse the long path of the warrior. Like the poem "Stars hang low over the vast plains" (星垂平野阔), this blade embodies a spirit that is quiet, expansive, and powerful.

Clay Tempered Performance: The blade is forged from T10 High Carbon Steel, a material prized for its toughness and edge retention. It features a genuine, hand-polished Hamon (Temper Line) created through the traditional clay tempering process. The edge is bright and clear, offering intense visual impact and razor-sharp performance.

Functional & Durable: Mounted with detailed Alloy Fittings, the "Nagano" is built for practicality. It features a Full Tang construction secured by double pegs. The scabbard is crafted from solid hardwood with a durable lacquer finish. With its "Big-V" edge geometry, it cuts with minimal resistance, making it an excellent entry-level functional sword for collectors and practitioners alike.
