Gilded Tomoe Katana | Folded 1095 Steel Clay Tempered Katana

The Gilded Tomoe Katana is a masterpiece of heritage and understated luxury. Its name is born from the exquisite fittings: a full set of antique-finish copper koshirae, each piece brought to life with delicate gold and silver gilded accents. The central design theme is the powerful "Mitsudomoe", a traditional Japanese crest symbolizing power and the cycle of life, featured prominently on the tsuba, fuchi, and kashira. The blade itself is a testament to master-level forging—folded 1095 high carbon steel that has been clay-tempered to create a genuine hamon. This is paired with a serene, natural aesthetic of beige ito wrap over pure white rayskin and a stunning natural Hualee wood (rosewood) saya.

Why Choose the Gilded Tomoe Katana?

• Elite Gilded "Mitsudomoe" Fittings: The fittings are the soul of this sword. Crafted from antique-finish copper, they are highlighted with genuine gold and silver gilding and unified by the classic "Mitsudomoe" crest.
• Folded & Clay-Tempered 1095 Steel Blade: The blade combines two elite forging techniques: it is folded from 1095 high carbon steel to reveal a beautiful grain (jihada) and clay-tempered to produce a genuine, hard hamon (temper line).
• Natural Rosewood & Cotton Aesthetic: The sword features an elegant, natural color palette, from the polished natural Hualee wood (rosewood) saya to the beige cotton ito and sageo, creating a look of timeless sophistication.
• Premium Construction: From the folded steel blade to the gilded copper fittings and pure white genuine rayskin, every component is selected for its quality, functionality, and historical accuracy.
