Summer Lotus Katana

The Summer Lotus Katana by Dragon King continues the brand’s themed katana series with a design inspired by the richness and vitality of the season. Its blackened tsuba features a water garden, lotus flower and tree motif, echoed by snail and frog menuki on the handle. These details give the sword a distinctive symbolic character while maintaining the authentic proportions and presentation expected from a well-appointed Japanese sword. The 28 1/8" blade is forged from 5160 through-tempered carbon steel and shaped with a 1 1/2" kissaki, 3/4" sori and robust blade geometry suited to demanding cutting practice on appropriate soft and semi-hard materials. The black tsuka-ito contrasts cleanly with the real white same, while the silver habaki, notched seppa and green textured lacquered saya complete the seasonal colour palette. Please note that the sageo cord on the saya may not be wrapped exactly as pictured.
