John Lee - Tombo Katana

The dragonfly (Japanese "Tombo") was considered an honorable symbol of the Samurai. She was a symbol of the courage of warriors and the attitude never to give up
The Japanese reverence for this insect, which is considered the spirit of the rice plant in Shintoism and a harbinger of a bountiful autumn, is also expressed in many poems
This sword is a real highlight in many ways. Especially the theme-related ornamentation, the differentially hardened blade in Shobu-Zukuri style, and the scabbard with Kozuka (utility knife) make this katana something truly special
- Sharp blade made of 1095 carbon steel
- Blade in Shobu-Zukuri style (smooth transition of the tip) with groove (Bo-Hi)
- Differentiated hardening with clay plaster to 60° Rockwell at the cutting edge, 40° at the back of the blade
- Handle wrapping made of wine-red silk in the classic Hineri-Maki style
- Black, high-gloss lacquered scabbard (Kuroro style)
