Wind and Thunder Katana, Wakizashi and Tanto

Our Wind and Thunder katana is one of the heaviest swords made by Paul Chen. The blade is patterned after early Japanese swords when they were thicker and the kissaki (tip) was longer. This sword has a true temper line and hamon. The blade has been differentially clay fired, the edge has a 60RC hardness and the back has a 40RC hardness. The full tang is secured to the wooden handle with two pins. The handle is covered in real same' (rayskin) and Japanese cotton is braided over in the traditional pattern. This sword is also front weighted toward the tip for better cutting. This is our heaviest sword. This sword is sharp and ready for cutting.
