Each Paul Chen Shinto Katana has a hand-forged 1065 high-carbon steel blade (nagasa) and is differentially tempered using a traditional claying method. The Paul Chen Shinto Katana is mounted in black and the tsuka-ito is made of premium black Japanese cotton. The saya is done in a deep black lacquer with a black cotton sageo. A finely rendered dragon, detailed in gold, with true front-and-back detail, forms the black iron tsuba. The fittings are superbly antiqued adding to the aesthetics of this amazing Katana Sword. The blade features a groove (bo-hi) on both sides and are constructed with a medium length (chu) kissaki. The incredibly popular Paul Chen Shinto Katana is the cornerstone of the Paul Chen Samurai Swords.
