Autumn Leaf Forged Katana

Autumn Leaf Forged Katana – A Fusion of Heritage and Art

The Autumn Leaf Forged Katana embodies the harmony of strength, precision and traditional Japanese symbolism. Inspired by the timeless ginkgo leaf — a sign of longevity and resilience — this katana brings cultural depth and refined craftsmanship together in one exceptional piece.

The darkened crescent-shaped stainless steel tsuba is decorated with falling ginkgo leaves, while the grasshopper and bell cricket menuki represent good fortune. Each detail highlights the cultural richness behind traditional Japanese sword making.

Forged from 5160 carbon steel and differentially hardened, the blade delivers excellent cutting performance and structural stability. The 2.85 cm sori creates an elegant curvature, complemented by a balanced 3.8 cm kissaki.

The handle features tan tsuka-ito, matched with darkened fuchi and kashira, and is secured with traditional double mekugi pins. The black lacquered saya includes buffalo horn accents and a matching black sageo.

Crafted by Dragon King — renowned for traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship.
