The Oni-no-Tsume (Demon Claw) Chisai-Katana is designed with close quarters confrontation in mind; featuring a 24" blade, uchigatana koshirae, and a reinforced kissaki.

The blade is hand forged from a single AISI 1070 steel billet. The hamon is authentically achieved by a process of clay-backing and tempering, producing a martensite edge and pearlite body. The edge and polish are finished by hand with natural and synthetic polishing stones for non-decorative practioner's finish. The sugata is in the u-no-kubi-tsukuri style. The fittings are of quality lost wax castings in blackened brass. The handle is fit with extra long rayskin panels wrapped with silk cord. The sheath is hand carved softwood, lacquered in multiple layers and multiple colors to create a unique tree bark textured finish with a superior grip and lower drag against the obi than smooth lacquer.

The Oni-no-Tsume is correct for the Togakure-Ryu specifications of a Shinobi-gatana (Ninjutsu sword), aside from its typical saya length. Togakure-Ryu is one of the Ryu-ha within the Takamatsu-den; it is currently practiced widely throughout the world. A version of the Oni no Tsume with longer saya may be available in the future (those interested, please contact us).
