This piece is defined by a striking black-and-white aesthetic that commands attention through pure form and disciplined geometry rather than over-ornamentation. Created for those who value historical integrity, it serves as a distinguished centerpiece that honors time-honored heritage while maintaining a clean and refined profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is hand-forged from T8 High-Carbon Steel, a material selected for its purity and structural excellence. Through a rigorous process of manual refinement, the steel undergoes traditional clay-tempering to create an authentic Hamon, or temper line. This differential hardening process allows the steel to cool at different rates, resulting in a resilient, shock-absorbing spine and a high-density edge. The visual result is a misty, wave-like signature along the blade—a natural hallmark of the steel's internal transformation and superior balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MoonSwords","offers":[{"title":"With Engraving +$30 \/ Sharpened","offer_id":47351592485085,"sku":"KT 52 SE","price":282.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Engraving +$30 \/ Dull","offer_id":47351592517853,"sku":"KT 52 DE","price":282.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Without Engraving \/ Sharpened","offer_id":47351592550621,"sku":"KT 52 S","price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Without Engraving \/ Dull","offer_id":47351592583389,"sku":"KT 52 D","price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2333\/7693\/files\/KT52-4.jpg?v=1776751719","url":"https:\/\/www.moonswords.com\/products\/icho-katana","provider":"MoonSwords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
