DESCRIPTION
The Ghost of Yōtei – Gilded Night Katana stands at the top of the replica market — a premium-grade blade crafted for enthusiasts who refuse anything less than excellence. The T10 hamon blade displays a natural, beautifully undulating temper line, giving the sword the same visual depth and spirit found in traditional nihontō. Its cutting edge is honed to extreme sharpness, with the strength and rigidity needed for real-world performance.
The fittings are forged from solid copper, enriched with golden detailing inspired by classical Japanese motifs. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira all feature hand-engraved patterns, giving the sword a noble and unmistakably authentic aura. The scabbard (saya) is finished in a striking black–gold cracked lacquer style, reminiscent of ancient kintsugi, symbolizing resilience and beauty reborn.
The long handle (tsuka), wrapped in traditional ito, ensures perfect grip and balance, making this katana as functional as it is visually stunning. From the dramatic curvature of the blade to the gleaming gilded accents, the Ghost of Yōtei is crafted for collectors, practitioners, and admirers of elite Japanese weaponry.
This is not a basic replica — it is the highest-quality Ghost of Yōtei reproduction available on the market, forged with premium materials for maximum sharpness, authenticity, and durability.
