Tombo – Superior Katana Special Edition
The Tombo Katana Shinken pairs a responsive 1095 blade with a koshirae centred on the dragonfly. Brown Japanese silk softens the otherwise dark mounting, while the genuine hamon and carefully finished blade keep the focus firmly on function as well as appearance.
What makes this Special Edition different
- Genuine brown silk tsuka-ito made in Japan
- Real Gunome Chōji hamon
- Japanese-style hamon polish
- 1095 Maru Kitae blade with single bohi
- Black Kuroro saya with genuine buffalo-horn details
These are not simply cosmetic additions. Together they define the specification of this version and clearly separate it from the regular model in the Superior Series.
Blade construction and heat treatment
The sharp blade is made from 1095 carbon steel in Maru Kitae construction. Differential clay hardening produces a real Gunome Chōji hamon, which is then brought out with a Japanese-style polish rather than an artificial etched line. The single bohi lowers part of the blade mass and contributes to a lively, controllable response.
Tsuka, fittings and saya
The 27.5 cm tsuka uses genuine brown silk made in Japan, wrapped in Hineri Maki with hishigami over real samegawa. The fittings carry the Tombo dragonfly theme through the koshirae. A black Kuroro saya with genuine buffalo-horn components completes the mount and keeps the overall presentation traditional and balanced.
Design language and inspiration
The dragonfly has long been associated in Japanese warrior imagery with direct movement, determination and courage. On the Tombo, that symbolism is expressed through the fittings without becoming overly ornamental, making the design immediately recognisable while preserving a classic overall appearance.
Individually numbered and signed
This sword belongs to the YariNoHanzo Superior Katana – Special Editions collection. Each example is individually numbered and signed, making these configurations clearly identifiable as special interpretations of established Superior models.
Free extras included
Every Special Edition comes with a katana maintenance and cleaning kit for routine blade care and a silk sword bag with fusahimo for storage and presentation. Both are supplied at no additional cost.
