Kaneie Wave Katana T10

Kaneie Wave (Nami) Katana T10

Wave Katana; a light and fast samurai sword

The Wave Katana from Kaneie Sword Art is an exceptionally balanced, light and fast sword suitable for collection or martial arts practice. The sword is named for the Wave (Nami) themed fittings and crab menuki.

The blade is differentially hardened T10, hand polished in the traditional manner to a full "art" polish. Details in the hamon are exquisite and must be seen in person to truly appreciate. The blade is a light and fast cutter, with little niku (appleseed edge geometry). Therefore this sword should only be used on traditional cutting targets such as tatami.

Two versions: 1 or 2 mekugi.
