This blade is my take on a contemporary tactical katana. The blade is forged from 1075 and through hardened with a hitatsura hamon. The saya is a standard wood core wrapped in carbon fiber with a hardened epoxy resin finish. Browned steel fuchi and kashira were done by Patrick Hastings with silver cicada menuki and a damascus tsuba done by myself.

This blade was a special custom collaboration between myself and Patrick Hastings for a customer. The blade was completely traditionally made in hon san mei construction using traditional tamahagane, and following soshu den characteristics. The fittings are all in iron and silver with a pebble and Kyudo (Japanese archery) theme. The lacquer is a special red and black pebbling technique that gives a very slight surface texture.
