Description
The Dragon King Kaze Japanese katana features a differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with a sweeping hamon line and exceptional balance. The 72cm blade is fitted with a cast bronze tsuba depicting a dragon in clouds — a motif symbolising power and transformation. Premium cotton ito over genuine ray skin gives you an authoritative grip, while the hand-lacquered black saya completes this collector statement piece.
The Dragon Rises
The bronze dragon tsuba catches the light as you lift the Kaze from its display stand — a moment of quiet theatre before the blade slides free from the lacquered saya. The T10 steel reflects the room in its polished surface, the hamon line undulating like a wave frozen in time. This is a katana that demands to be admired, handled, and displayed with pride.
Bronze and Steel
Dragon King's artisans cast each bronze tsuba using the lost-wax method, a technique that captures extraordinary detail in the dragon relief. The T10 tool steel blade undergoes differential hardening — the edge quenched to 61 HRC while the spine stays flexible — then is hand-polished through progressively finer stones to reveal the natural hamon and bring the steel to a brilliant lustre.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
