Celestial Eagle | Honsanmai Folded Steel Clay Tempered Katana

A blade that soars through the heavens, the Celestial Eagle Katana is a masterpiece of myth and metallurgy. Its soul is the sculpted brass eagle on the tsuba, a timeless symbol of power and vision. This guardian overlooks a stunning "Starry Sky" saya, where blue and gold flakes shimmer like a distant nebula. The blade itself is a marvel of the highest craft: a Honsanmai laminated, folded, and clay-tempered blade of 1095 steel. This is not just a sword; it is the sky hunter, forged in fire and adorned with the cosmos.

Why Choose the Celestial Eagle?

• The Pinnacle of Forging: Honsanmai, Folded & Clay-Tempered: This blade showcases a trifecta of master-level techniques. It features a complex Honsanmai construction (hard steel core, softer sides), is forged from **folded 1095 steel** for a beautiful grain (hada), and is then traditionally **clay-tempered** to produce a genuine, vivid hamon.
• Master-Crafted "Celestial Eagle" Fittings: The sword's theme is brought to life through its exquisite brass fittings. The tsuba (guard) is a powerful, finely detailed sculpture of a soaring eagle, a classic symbol of strength and vision in samurai culture.
• Luxurious "Starry Sky" Lacquer Saya: The scabbard (saya) is a work of art, featuring a deep black lacquer finish that is densely covered with shimmering blue and gold flakes. This creates a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of a starry night sky or a distant nebula.
• Elegant Green Silk & Rayskin Handle: The handle is traditionally wrapped with a beautiful olive/moss green Japanese silk ito over pure white genuine rayskin (samegawa). This color combination is both classic and unique, providing an excellent grip and a refined aesthetic.
