Dragonheir Clay Tempered Damascus Steel Tachi Sword - Tapered Full Tang

Hand-forged using traditional Japanese sword-making metallurgy, the Dragonheir Tachi is a battle-ready masterpiece engineered for optimal balance, flexibility, and cutting power. Crafted from high-performance clay-tempered Damascus pattern steel, this Japanese Tachi features a double-tapered blade geometry paired with an unyielding full tang construction. Complete with genuine pearl ray skin, hand-carved pure copper fittings, and a gold-flecked lacquered solid wood scabbard, it represents the ultimate convergence of martial functionality, historical art, and lasting durability.

  • Clay-Tempered Damascus Steel & Wavy Hamon

    Hand-forged through traditional differential hardening, a specialized clay layer is hand-applied during heat treating to yield a shock-absorbent spine and a rock-hard edge. This technique produces an unmistakable natural Hamon line woven directly into the folded Damascus steel grain (Hada), delivering superior edge retention and high-impact resilience.

  • Tapered Blade Geometry & Full Tang Stability

    Engineered with a double taper that narrows radially and thins axially from base to tip. Combined with a solid, one-piece full tang steel core, this design shifts the center of gravity closer to the hilt—drastically reducing rotational inertia and wrist fatigue while eliminating any risk of the blade loosening.

  • Pearl Ray Skin & Hand-Bound Cord Grip

    The handle is wrapped in genuine white pearl ray skin (Samegawa) and tightly bound with a high-friction brown cotton cord. This authentic construction ensures a comfortable, sweat-resistant, non-slip hold for maximum control during dynamic practice swings and cutting drills.

  • Hand-Carved Copper Fittings & Gold-Flecked Saya

    Adorned with precision hand-carved pure copper fittings (Tsuba and ornaments) that resist impact damage and develop a rich patina over time. The solid timber scabbard (Saya) features a protective gold-flecked black lacquer finish, paired with leather suspension hangers (Ashi) for secure, traditional edge-down belt wear.
