SBC – SPINE0125 – Sharp Spine of Dragon – Fixed Blade Knife – Damascus Polished Katana – Cord Wrapped – Black Red

Description The SBC SPINE0125, known as the “Sharp Spine of the Dragon,” is a handcrafted katana that exemplifies the pinnacle of traditional Japanese sword-making artistry. This exceptional piece is designed for discerning collectors and martial arts practitioners who value both aesthetic beauty and functional performance. The blade, aptly named “Sharp Spine of the Dragon,” is forged from high-quality Damascus steel. The full tang construction ensures optimal balance and stability, making it suitable for rigorous use. The blade undergoes oil quenching heat treatment, enhancing its hardness and edge retention. Measuring an overall length of 40.94 inches, the katana features a 28.35-inch blade and a 10.63-inch handle. Weighing approximately 2.93 lbs, it offers a substantial yet manageable heft. The tsuba, or handguard, is crafted from brass and intricately designed with motifs of dragons and flowers, symbolizing power and beauty. Complementing this, the menuki (handle ornaments) are also brass, featuring detailed dragon designs that enhance the sword’s thematic coherence. The handle is wrapped in authentic ray skin, overlaid with a traditional cord wrap, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. The scabbard is constructed from high-hardness lacquered wood, available in two striking designs: a red finish adorned with golden flowers, and a black finish accented with teal and gold highlights. Please note that while this is fully functional, it should be handled responsibly. Regular maintenance, including proper cleaning and oiling, is recommended to preserve its condition and longevity.
