Dragon King Forge Hana Hand Forged Katana

Dragon King Forge Hana Hand Forged Katana

A simple design may be associated by some as a lack of sophistication but such is not the case with the Hana Katana from Dragon King. The Hana Katana embodies power, form and function in the simplest of accoutrements.

The blackened tsuba (guard), fuchi (collar) and fuchi-kashira (pommel) display falling cherry blossoms juxtaposed by the real white same (ray skin) under the black tsuka-ito (handle wrap) and accented by silver cherry blossom menuki (handle ornaments), habaki (blade collar) and seppa (spacers). The 27 1/2" forged steel blade's distinctive hamon (temper line) flows smoothly from kissaki (blade point) to the habaki. The blade is concealed in a textured, matte black saya with a buffalo horn kurikata (knob) and black sageo (cord).

The Hana Katana is a sword for the humble warrior who needs only to let the blade do the talking.

Dragon King was established in 2012 by a team of artists, designers and metal workers with over 20 years experience in the sword field. Initially concentrating on their home market, they have produced some exquisite custom pieces for the discerning collector of Chinese swords. A move to larger premises in 2014 and an investment in a state of the art forge has enabled them to enter into the martial arts field. These are quality swords for those looking for an alternative to the more established brands.
