Katana Masamune Folded Steel Clay Tempered Blade with Notare Wave Hamon | KSA Jiang
KSA “Jiang” Series Katana – Masamune | Folded Steel (Damascus) Clay Tempered Blade | Real Wave Hamon | Gloss Black Lacquer Saya | Genuine Rayskin | Authentic Kissaki Structure | Martial Arts Practice
Masamune katana is named in honor of Date Masamune (1567–1636), one of the most celebrated daimyō of Japan's Sengoku and early Edo periods. Renowned for his ambition, military leadership, and bold vision, Masamune earned the title "The One-Eyed Dragon" and became a lasting symbol of strength, wisdom, and determination. Bearing his name, this katana pays tribute to his enduring legacy through a design that reflects refinement, resilience, and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Forged from folded steel in traditional Maru-zukuri construction, the blade reveals a refined jihada created through repeated folding and careful forging. Through traditional clay tempering, it develops a graceful Real Notare hamon, whose gentle undulating temper line flows naturally along the cutting edge like rolling ocean waves. The folded steel grain and authentic hamon complement one another, showcasing the timeless artistry of traditional Japanese swordsmithing.
The koshirae is centered around a brass tsuba featuring a bold tiger motif, symbolizing courage, authority, and an unyielding spirit. The fuchi and kashira, crafted from white copper (cupronickel), feature the traditional Jūji Kikkō pattern, representing longevity, resilience, and enduring prosperity. A polished brass habaki completes the mounting, harmonizing naturally with the warm tones of the fittings.
The tsuka is wrapped in wine-red cotton ito over genuine white samegawa, creating a rich and dignified contrast while providing a secure and comfortable grip. The saya is finished in a Gloss Black Lacquer, whose deep reflective surface conveys timeless elegance and understated authority. A matching black sageo completes the koshirae, reinforcing the sword's balanced and refined appearance.
