Our Competition 14 Fold, 1060 High Carbon
Folded Steel Competition Cutting Katana is designed
for cutting goza, green bamboo, tatami omote and
tameshigiri. The blade is completely forged, folded,
polished, crafted and assembled by hand from the
most experienced craftsmen and smiths at the Imperial
Forge.
The Competition blade boasts a 10"
long, 8mm thick, 25mm wide tang with no taper. Mid
blade is 6mm thick & 29mm wide, tapering to
5mm thick & 25mm at the kissaki. This brings
the balance point forward to 5 1/2" for an
easy cut.

Using 1060 high carbon steel, folded
14 times creating 16,384 layers combined with the
thickness of the blade, the Imperial Forge as created
one of the most durable competition cuttings swords
available on the market today. The full black same'
wrap and dark green cotton, double wrapped ito helps
protect tsuka from the oils and sweat from your
hands during training; as well as making a very
comfortable, non-slip grip. We've also added a same'
wrap to the saya to protect the finish of the saya
from scratches and to add a comfortable, non-slip
grip.
The Imperial Forge Competition Katana also
comes with a silk bag and maintenance kit. (Display box is not included). This katana features a black
dragon tsuba and gold dragon menuki.

Keeping with Japanese traditions our
Imperial Sword Collection is crafted using only
traditional materials and fittings. The Tsuba (guard),
Fuchi (collar), and Kashira (pommel) are expertly
made and finely crafted from black iron. The Habaki
(blade collar) is hand made out of polished brass
and each tsuka (handle) is covered in ray skin and
tightly wrapped in the traditional cross over style
ito (braid).
It takes time to produce folded blades
of this quality and this is why our Imperial Sword
Collection is more difficult to acquire. It is best
to order or reserve your blade as soon as possible
as we do not always have full availability in stock.
We take great pride in the quality and performance
of or swords, we will not compromise this quality
and/or performance just to sell more swords.

Each sword blade is individually hand forged,
heat treated, tempered and polished by skilled hands creating
