If you are searching for a truly beautiful and elegant sword to take into battle, check out the Taikyu Katana. It is worthy of many warriors.
To begin with, this functional katana features a blade of folded T10 and 9260 high carbon steel. This mix of steels gives a visible design in the temper-line, or hamon, of the blade. The blade has a curved shape, typical of Japanese swords. It has a lightweight feel, allowing for quick maneuvers.
Next, the sword continues with an antiqued silver-colored crossguard, or tsuba. It depicts a mighty koi fish transforming into a dragon. The koi fish is a symbol of endurance. It transforms into a dragon after facing strong currents and difficult obstacles.
Then, the sword has a traditionally wrapped grip. Teal silk wraps around cream-colored, real ray skin. The fittings on the sword hilt, including the pommel and menuki, have a roaring wave pattern.
Finally, this sword comes with a dark blue scabbard. It has teal flecks in its rich coloring. There is a teal wrapping at the top of the scabbard. In addition, the scabbard has a metal chape with the same wave motif as the sword fittings.
You can use this sword in combat or decorate your home with its striking design. It is truly a collectors piece, making a perfect centerpiece in any collection. Of course, when you are not taking it into battle, put it on a sword stand or keep it sharp with some sword maintenance supplies.
