Summer Lotus Katana

Continuing our themed katana series, our Summer Lotus Katana articulates every aspect of this fruitful season. The tsuba expresses a water garden, lotus flower and tree motif reflected in the snail and frog menuki (handle ornaments), symbols of fertility and good fortune. The blackened tsuba, fuchi, tsuka-ito (handle wrap) and fuchi-kashira contrast the real white same (ray skin) handle, the notched seppa (spacers), silver habaki (blade collar) and the green textured lacquered saya (scabbard).

The 5160 forged carbon steel blade features a 1 ½" kissaki (point) and blade geometry conducive to rigorous cutting without chipping on soft and semi-hard targets.

Spring The Seasonal Katana Series represents an entry level katana with traditional handle construction and cotton tsuka-ito (wrap) and real same (ray skin). Designed for regular cutting the 5160 high-carbon steel blade is through-hardened for toughness.

Dragon King was established in 2012 by a team of artists, designers and metal workers with over 20 years experience in the sword field. Initially concentrating on their home market, they have produced some exquisite custom pieces for the discerning collector of Chinese swords. A move to larger premises in 2014 and an investment in modern technology and a state of the art forge has enabled them to enter into the martial arts field. These are quality swords for those looking for an alternative to the more established brands.
