The Shinwa Imperial Dragon Katana is the perfect embodiment of mythical elegance and formidable craftsmanship, built for serious collectors and sword enthusiasts. Hand-forged with painstaking attention to detail, this full-tang katana features a 28 3/4” Damascus steel blade, boasting over 2,000 layers that create a stunning array of waves, swirls, and ripples.

The katana’s aesthetic appeal continues with a custom cast metal tsuba and a classic brass habaki that add rustic charm. The saya, hand-lacquered with a breathtaking mother of pearl dragon inlay, glimmers in a spectrum of colors and is further detailed with sun and cloud motifs reminiscent of traditional Japanese art. With its 40” overall length, the Imperial Dragon Katana brings the awe-inspiring grace and ferocity of the mythical dragon to life, offering an experience as unique as the blade itself.

Fantastic

Compared to the Honshu Boshin Katana, this beauty is far superior. Sure, the blade itself is a bit shorter but the handle is also a bit longer than the Honshu. it's also much lighter. looks amazing too. nothing on it wiggles even slightly, which bugged the hell out of me with the Honshu. don't know how it cuts anything and I don't intend to find out.

I recommend this sword for sword buyer

Once I get past the fact that i paid for and bought the sword 2 days before it went on a 50% off sale, its was pretty good. It isn't very sharp and doesn't cut well, but the blade is of a very high quality and will last forever if taken care of. Before I got it sharpened, I took it to a battle test where we go full speed sparring competition style. It withheld zero damage during battle and only a few minor scratches. This Damascus Steel blade, once sharpened able to cut through bamboo stalks, real Tatami mats, and even all the way through a cow thigh. I recommend this sword to anybody that's getting started as the blade will last a long time and once you are ready, you can get it sharpened.

Beautiful Sword

Isnt a black blade like it shows but it is stunning none the less. Sharp and gorgeous to look at. The pattern on the blade is nice to look and the blade is well balanced and built. Standard shipping took 6 days to get it less than the 7-10 quoted. A good blade with some good craftsmanship. Thank you guys for a great product.

Its a good Katana

When I got this sword I was ecstatic. It is a very beautiful blade and very well put together, and there is no rattle in the hilt. However, the only problem i have with this blade is when I cut a small 16 oz plastic bottle of water in half with it. The cut was successful however once i looked at the blade afterwards i noticed to nicks in it. Still, its a very excellent sword overall (I guess I`m going to sharpen it now). Still, I would recommend this as a somewhat functional sword. Just be careful with it, it is very sharp out of the box. I had plans to make this part of my bug out bag but now im not so sure.

Imperial Dragon

Got this sword in about 2 days after purchase, amazing time! Honestly, this sword is very beautiful, but lethal as well! I have been trying to find ANY cons about this katana for a few weeks now, and I have none.. The blade is beautiful, real damascus steel. It is very sturdy, it does not rattle what so ever. The fit into the scabbard is a tiny bit too tight but that can be fixed easily with a bit of sand paper.
