The swordsmiths of Sokojikara are experts at using the time-honored, hand-forging techniques that produce a sword that’s perfectly balanced and strong. The Demon Monk Katana has a 29” clay-tempered 1095 carbon steel blade that’s razor-sharp and perfectly balanced. It has an antiqued brass, round tsuba with an intricately detailed demon monk and centipede design. The hardwood handle is wrapped in genuine tiger-eye rayskin and black cord and there’s an engraved brass habaki. The 40” overall katana slides smoothly into a black, lacquered scabbard, accented with red slashes and black cord-wrap.
