Practical Dragon Katana

The Practical Dragon Katana is the perfect entry-level sword for students of Japanese swordsmanship and collectors seeking a balance between tradition, performance, and value. Featuring the revered dragon motif — a symbol of strength, wisdom, and protection — this katana combines classic aesthetics with dependable functionality, making it an ideal choice for beginners or as a first functional katana.

Traditional Craftsmanship, Practical Performance

Designed with careful attention to weight and balance, this katana offers improved handling compared to other starter swords. The blade is forged from tempered 1045 high carbon steel — slightly softer than higher-grade steels but well-suited for light cutting practice on soft targets such as tatami mats and pool noodles. The double-pinned handle is mounted over a traditional full-length tang for added security and authenticity, ensuring a solid feel in training or display.
