{"product_id":"dragon-x-katana","title":"Dragon X Katana – Folded steel with stone pattern","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDragon X is a katana focused on traditional aesthetics and visual material depth. The blade is crafted from industrial folded steel that creates a dynamic surface texture. Combined with a defined spine structure and classic black fittings, Dragon X carries a timeless yet powerful presence.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from industrial pattern-welded steel (folded steel), where multiple layers of steel are forge-bonded together to create the characteristic flowing wave pattern. The layered structure is metallurgically integral throughout the blade and gives it its distinctive appearance, it is not a superficial acid etch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel is oil quenched to achieve an even and stable hardness across the entire blade. This results in a balanced combination of strength and durability, while allowing the layered pattern to remain clearly visible through the polishing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlong the spine (mune), a stone pattern finish adds a raw and more aggressive aesthetic. The stone pattern is a decorative surface feature and should not be confused with heat treatment or hamon.\u0026nbsp;The blade has a hardness of approximately 60 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTsuba + Tsuka\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuba is richly decorated with \u003cb\u003edragon motifs\u003c\/b\u003e and made of \u003cb\u003ezinc alloy\u003c\/b\u003e with a gold-colored finish.
