Hanwei - Shinto Elite Katana
The Shinto Elite (SH6004KGE) features a hand-forged T10 high-carbon steel katana blade featuring the geometry of the Performance Series.

The saya is finished 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 the set. The Shinto is supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
