Dragon King Modern Katana – 1566 Steel G10 Handle Japanese Sword

Modern design. Samurai soul. The Dragon King Modern Katana reimagines the iconic Japanese sword with today’s materials, crafting a battle-ready blade that honors tradition while embracing innovation. Whether you’re a modern martial artist or a collector seeking a minimalist, functional katana, this piece merges form and function with precision.

Forged from differentially tempered 1566 steel, the 27" blade features a genuine hamon line that reflects the ancient forging techniques of traditional katana craftsmanship. The edge is hardened to 60 HRC for sharpness, while the spine remains at 40 HRC for flexibility. A copper habaki and seppa add subtle accents of traditional metallurgy.

The tsuka (handle) is crafted from textured G10—a high-performance, weather-resistant material—encapsulating the full tang and dual-pinned for a secure, unremovable fit. Embedded within the tsuka are silver shi shi (lion dog) menuki, a nod to traditional symbolism. The textured black saya is finished with an olive paracord sageo, polymer kurikata, and kojiri—combining sleek looks with urban practicality.

Pair it with the Dragon King Modern Tanto to complete your contemporary warrior set.
