Onikiri – F-905 – Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Samurai Katana – Fixed Blade Knife – 1045 HC Satin – Cord Wrapped – Black

Description

The Onikiri F-905 Shirasaya Katana is built for collectors who appreciate clean, traditional Japanese lines paired with practical craftsmanship. This model embodies the quiet elegance of the shirasaya style—minimal fittings, smooth contours, and a focus on the blade itself. Rather than ornate embellishments, the F-905 prioritizes the purity of form, resulting in a piece that feels both historically respectful and visually striking.

The heart of the katana is its 1045 high-carbon steel blade, forged to deliver resilience, easy maintenance, and dependable sharpness for light cutting practice or display. The satin finish enhances the grain of the steel and softens reflective glare, giving the katana an understated sophistication reminiscent of antique Japanese pieces. Its geometry is balanced and linear, making the blade feel lively in hand for those who prefer authentic proportions without excess weight.

Unlike decorative wall-hangers, the F-905 is assembled with working components and correct shaping, making it suitable for kata, demonstrations, or collection use. The clean shirasaya scabbard and handle configuration emphasizes smooth, unbroken lines, while the added cord wrap on the handle provides grip and modern utility not found on traditional plain-wood shirasaya. This blend of classic structure and functional handling makes the piece approachable for new collectors while still appealing to seasoned sword enthusiasts.

As a display piece, the F-905 stands out for its simplicity—it has the presence of a traditional katana without overwhelming ornamentation. As a practice blade, it offers a comfortable reach, predictable balance, and a form that encourages proper handling. Whether you’re expanding a growing collection or seeking an accessible, traditional-style katana with real-world construction, the Onikiri F-905 delivers reliable quality and timeless aesthetics.
