Tokugawa | 23" Dawson Select Japanese Katana | Hamon | Arizona Ironwood
The Tokugawa Katana embodies the spirit of a warrior tempered in the fires of battle—not brash and foolhardy but experienced, restrained, and far too cunning to expose a blow before it finds its mark.
This heirloom sword features a traditional high-contrast hamon; a differential heat treat method inspired by ancient Japanese swordsmiths. It demands the highest level of skill from the craftsman, but yields a visually stunning blade that is also superior in strength and edge. The blade flows effortlessly into a CPM-MagnaCut steel oval tsuba with an Antiqued Black finish. A beautiful and resilient Arizona Ironwood handle completes the piece, fastened with mosaic pins and overlaid with black cotton silk.
SPECS:
-
100% designed and handcrafted in the USA
- Hamon - Differential Heat Treat: A hamon (刃文) is the visible, flame-hardened temper line on a traditionally crafted blade, marking the boundary between the hardened cutting edge and the softer, more flexible spine
- Heat treated in-house for maximum toughness, durability and edge-holding capability, and backed by the Dawson Common Sense Guarantee
- 3/16" 80CRV2 steel blade
- Approximately 23" blade, 21 1/8" sharpened edge, 34" overall
