This is Hisui Arashi – a long-handle katana forged from T10 steel and clay tempered to reveal a natural hamon with twin grooves. The blade’s sharp, powerful presence is enhanced by fifteen meticulous stages of hand polishing.
Its 42 cm handle is wrapped in deep green cord over genuine rayskin, balanced perfectly with a bright green stone-patterned saya.
This chōtsuka katana embodies agility and dominance — equally stunning for martial artists, collectors, or traditional blade enthusiasts.
