VOID DRAKE Katana - Handmade Samurai Sword in T10 Steel - Hitatsura Hamon
VOID DRAKE is an exclusive katana hand-forged in T10 high-carbon steel , produced through advanced clay hardening , a demanding and rare heat treatment method that results in a genuine hitatsura hamon .
Unlike more conventional temper lines, the hitatsura pattern runs across large areas of the blade, creating a dramatic, vivid expression that can only be achieved through extreme precision in both clay application and temperature control.
The blade has undergone 18 stages of hand grinding and polishing , which clearly highlights both the hamon and the internal structure of the steel. Each blade is individually hardened, which means that each hamon is completely unique , no two VOID DRAKEs are exactly alike.
Saya
The saya is made of lacquered wood and hand-painted with a detailed dragon motif , executed with great artistic precision and subtle gold accents . Each brushstroke is applied by hand, making each saya a unique work of art.
The koiguchi, kurigata and kojiri are reinforced with horn inserts , both for increased durability and to enhance the exclusive character of the sword.
Tsuka
The tsuka is covered in genuine stingray leather (samegawa) and wrapped with traditional cotton wrapping, which provides a stable and authentic grip. The mountings consist of copper fittings , carefully selected to harmonize with the dark and powerful aesthetics of the sword.
VOID DRAKE is a sword for collectors who seek technically advanced forging, uncompromising craftsmanship and strong visual identity .
