Silver Dragon | T10 Steel Clay Tempered Katana

A blade cloaked in moonlight, the Silver Dragon Katana embodies the power and mystique of the celestial serpent. Its most striking feature is the unique matte silver saya, upon which a legendary dragon is etched in silhouette. The blade itself is a testament to the smith's art: resilient T10 steel, clay-tempered to reveal a genuine, wave-like hamon. Paired with a cool grey ito wrap and gleaming silver fittings, this is a sword that commands respect with its understated elegance and hidden power.

Why Choose the Silver Dragon?

• Unique Matte Silver Dragon Saya: The scabbard (saya) is the sword's defining feature, finished in a unique matte silver lacquer and adorned with an etched dragon motif. This creates a modern, sophisticated, and mythical aesthetic.
• The Heart of T10 Steel: A Clay-Tempered Blade: The blade is forged from high-performance T10 tool steel and features a genuine, beautiful hamon (temper line) created through the traditional clay-tempering process. This ensures a razor-sharp, hard edge with a resilient spine.
• Cool Grey & White Handle: The handle (tsuka) features a unique and elegant color combination, with a tight wrap of cool grey silk/cotton ito over pure white genuine rayskin (samegawa), providing a superb grip and a refined look.
• High-Quality Contrasting Fittings: The koshirae features high-quality alloy fittings (tsuba, fuchi, kashira) finished in silver to match the saya, perfectly contrasted by the warm glow of the copper habaki (blade collar).
