Lion Dog Katana
The Lion Dog Katana features an O-Kissaki blade of
Hanwei's own high-alloy HWS-1S steel, which combines
superior performance with an outstanding O-choji hamon.
This steel is made in Hanwei's new factory, with
high-tech equipment, producing a very pure
advanced-metallurgy blade with the best edge-holding
capability and resilience of any blade ever produced by
Hanwei. The outstanding performance characteristics of
blades forged from HWS-1S steel derive from a
combination of the careful selection of alloying
elements and a complex processing procedure, basically
involving the manipulation of the steel’s carbon content
across the blade section. This results in a very tough
and resilient blade with a hard, highly
abrasion-resistant edge.
The sharply detailed fittings feature a Lion-dog
themed black iron tsuba, with matching fuchi/kashira and
golden peony menuki. The complex saya features a
gloss-lacquered ribbed section at the koiguchi/kurikata
with the balance spatter-lacquered for a very attractive
appearance. The premium multi-colored sageo is
hand-woven in pure silk.
