Akio Hattori: Samurai Swords
Katanas, or the samurai sword, is a beautiful but deadly oriental weapon that capture the
attention and imagination of many people around the
world. Seeing a Katana in
an epic
film or
documentary
is often what
intially
compels a person to
collect oriental swords;
it stands to reason that acquiring a samurai sword is
a priority for many collectors.
After two years in the making, Darksword Armory has
finally teamed up with
japanese sword maker,
Akio Hattori,
the
youngest
member of the Hattori knife making family, now living
and forging
his samurai swords
in China.
The
Katanas,
forged
by Hattori and his staff, are individually handmade. The
Katana blades are forged with 1095 High Carbon Steel and
can either be ordered Tempered, at a Rockwell of 55, or
in traditional fashion, Clay Tempered (on order basis
for the time being).
Each of Hattori's
Katanas,
are individually hand forged and sharpened by hand,
while the fittings and extras are ordered from a third
party. Hattori provides three different levels of
quality. The Standard line, made by his entire staff
(presented below); a Mid range
line of samurai swords, forged by a selected
group of smiths among his staff and increasing in
quality, and an Elite line
of katanas, forged by Akio himself. The
mid range and elite line can be specially ordered by
request.
The battle ready katanas in our Standard line as offered here on our website are made with a balance in mind, between practicality and aesthetics. We requested that they be made in such a way that they would be highly functional at home, in the dojo for practical use, during cutting tests and performances, or as a highly attractive wall decoration. The blades on the Hattori katanas are razor sharp and ready to cut out of the box.
Darksword Armoury has been offering quality medieval and
fantasy swords for years. We are proud to now offer
samurai
swords
that are
comparable to the best in
the market. With each run we get closer to our goal, and
are confident that someday our katanas will be standard
in collections all over the world.
All Katanas are sold with a solid wood display box, silk sword bag, single sword stand, and a sword polishing kit (shown below).
Hattori Katana blades are signed by Akio Hattori. The display box are burned with his logo as well.
