Winter Sun Katana

WINTER SUN KATANA – THE POWER AND SILENCE OF WINTER

The Winter Sun Katana by Dragon King is inspired by the raw beauty of winter and the resilience required to survive it. The design subtly refers to the Japanese snow monkeys (macaques), who rely on discipline and cooperation even in the harshest conditions. This symbolism is reflected in the sword’s restrained yet powerful appearance.

While many katana focus on pronounced decoration, the Winter Sun Katana radiates control and sobriety. This is a sword that does not demand attention, but earns respect through its presence and performance. The contrast between the dark fittings and the light ray skin emphasizes the winter theme without excess.

FORGED FOR PERFORMANCE – 5160 CARBON STEEL

At the heart of the Winter Sun Katana is a hand-forged katana blade made from 5160 carbon steel. This steel is known for its exceptional toughness and resilience, making it highly suitable for intensive cutting practice. The blade is through tempered, providing an excellent balance between hardness and flexibility.

The blade geometry is optimized for powerful cutting and chopping techniques on soft and semi-hard targets, without the risk of breakage or deformation. The chu-kissaki offers a solid and reliable point, ideal for controlled and effective cuts. This makes the Winter Sun Katana a dependable choice for practitioners who value performance over ornamentation.

AUTHENTIC CONSTRUCTION AND WINTER-THEMED KOSHIRAE

The koshirae of this katana fully reflects the winter theme. The black-finished tsuba, fuchi and kashira create a strong visual contrast with the genuine white same (ray skin) on the tsuka. This interplay of light and dark mirrors the low winter sun over a snow-covered landscape.

The tsuka is traditionally constructed and provides a comfortable, secure grip. The tight wrapping ensures control and stability during use. The black lacquered wooden saya complements the understated design and protects the blade during storage and transport. Every detail is functional and contributes to the authentic character of this samurai sword.
