Eternal Dragon – Minamoto 1095 Hand Forged San Mai Laminated & Clay Tempered Katana

Legendary dragon-inspired design. Exceptional craftsmanship. Traditional Japanese forging.

Introducing Eternal Dragon, a premium hand-forged katana from our Minamoto collection, combining advanced Japanese-inspired sword-making techniques with exquisite decorative detailing.

Featuring a 1095 high-carbon steel blade with Honsanmai (San Mai) lamination, genuine clay tempering and hand-carved blade artwork, this exceptional katana is a magnificent centrepiece for any serious sword collection.

⚔️ San Mai Lamination & Clay Tempering

Eternal Dragon features a hand-forged 1095 high-carbon steel blade, constructed using the traditional Honsanmai (San Mai) lamination technique.

This method combines different steels in a layered construction, designed to balance edge hardness with structural toughness.

The blade also undergoes differential clay tempering, creating a harder cutting edge while retaining greater resilience along the spine.

The result is a genuine natural hamon (temper line), complemented by intricate hand-carved blade detailing and a traditional no-bo-hi design.

🐉 Exquisite Dragon-Inspired Detailing

The wooden tsuka (handle) features genuine stingray skin (samegawa) beneath traditional cotton handle wrapping (tsukamaki).

Its hardwood saya (scabbard) is beautifully decorated with mother-of-pearl engraving and genuine buffalo horn fittings, finished with an elegant black silk sageo.

The handmade brass tsuba and fittings feature silver and gold plating, adding a luxurious finishing touch worthy of the Eternal Dragon name.
