Sakamoto Katana – Sharp Excellence Inspired by Samurai Heritage
The Sakamoto Katana is named after the Sakamoto family, remembered for their influence and resilience during Japan’s turbulent Sengoku and Edo periods. Known for their adaptability and strategic insight, the Sakamoto legacy lives on in this katana: strong, refined, and crafted for serious practitioners.
Built to deliver superior performance, the Sakamoto Katana features a maru kitae 1095 high carbon steel blade, clay tempered for durability and finished with a hand-polished, highly visible togari-gunome hamon. The absence of bohi adds weight and stability, making it excellent for demanding practice such as Tameshigiri, Battodo, and Kenjutsu. Fully functional and full tang, it balances tradition with modern precision.
