Dragon King Fletching Katana

Archery held a revered place in samurai culture, prized for the discipline it demanded: patience, control, and precision. This katana carries that theme through an arrow fletching motif on the round tsuba, echoed in silver arrowhead menuki, seppa, and habaki.

The 28" forged carbon steel blade features a genuine hamon. The handle is wrapped in gold tsuka-ito over white same (ray skin) with a black sageo, set against copper-toned fittings and a textured dark brown lacquered saya with a buffalo horn kurikata and kojiri.
