The Tiger Elite Katana features a hand forged and folded Performance Series katana blade and some of the finest fittings available.  Designed for multiple cuts in normal targets, the Tiger Elite Katana is equally at home as a cutting blade or showpiece. The clay tempered K120C powder steel blade makes for superior edge holding and cutting ability.  The koshirae is crafted in blackened bronze and detailed in gold which add strength to the areas that are prone to cracking. The blackened iron tsuba features a ‘stalking tiger’ motif. The firmly fitted timber Tsuka features finest quality Same (Rayskin) while the  tightly wrapped tsuka-ito and sageo are woven in premium Japanese cotton.
