OVERVIEW
The Shishi no Shoukan, or "Twelve Zodiac," is a beautifully made katana that shows the skill and tradition of Japanese sword-making. The blade is made from high-quality Damascus steel, which has a unique twisted pattern. This shows the careful work that went into making it. With a hardness rating of 60 HRC, the blade is very strong and can cut through tough materials while staying sharp.
The katana has a 71 cm long blade and a 26 cm handle, which helps it feel well-balanced and easy to use. The hilt has finely carved pure copper parts that make it look good and strong. The scabbard is carefully wrapped in fish skin, adding to its beautiful design. The Shishi no Shoukan is more than just a weapon; it represents the rich culture of the samurai, combining usefulness and art.
