Katana Ishikari (Damascus Steel & Genuine Hamon)

The Katana Ishikari is a hand-forged 1060 carbon steel katana and a distinctive hamon (temper line) that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with reliable performance. Its full tang construction and sharp, battle-ready edge make it well-suited for martial arts training or display. Katana USA crafts this sword with careful attention to every detail, from the sculpted tsuba to the wrapped tsuka.

With a damascus steel blade and a genuine hamon, you can’t go wrong! The Ishikari katana combines everything a Japanese sword enthusiast could want from a katana. What sets this katana apart from others is its tsuba, which is also made of damascus steel. Its BO-HI gives it better weight distribution and a center of gravity closer to the handle, thus improving its handling.
