Munraito – Minamoto 1060 Hand Forged Folded Steel Katana

Traditional craftsmanship. Timeless elegance. The spirit of the samurai.

Introducing Munraito, a beautifully crafted hand-forged katana from our premium Minamoto collection, combining traditional Japanese sword-making techniques with the strength and character of high-carbon steel.

Featuring a folded 1060 high-carbon steel blade, genuine stingray skin handle wrapping and traditional Japanese-inspired construction, Munraito is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate authentic materials and classic samurai sword design.

⚔️ Traditionally Hand Forged & Folded Steel

Munraito features a hand-forged 1060 high-carbon steel blade, crafted through repeated heating, hammering and folding.

This traditional Japanese-inspired process creates a distinctive layered steel construction, reflecting techniques that have been used by swordsmiths for centuries.

Historically, folding helped refine steel and distribute impurities, while modern folded steel is particularly appreciated for its craftsmanship and characteristic layered appearance.

The blade is then heat-treated and quenched using oil and water, developing the steel's hardness and completing an important stage of the forging process.

With its balance of hardness and toughness, 1060 high-carbon steel is a popular choice among Japanese sword enthusiasts.

🏯 Traditional Japanese Handle Construction

The wooden tsuka (handle) is covered in genuine stingray skin (samegawa), providing the distinctive textured appearance associated with traditional Japanese swords.

This is finished with traditional cotton handle wrapping (tsukamaki), creating the classic diamond-pattern design of a samurai katana.

Together, these traditional materials complement the hand-forged blade and give Munraito its elegant, timeless appearance.
