Loong War Katana
Loong War Katana
The Loong War Katana carries a more animated loong scene across its copper fittings. The motif is paired with an ebony saya finished with buffalo horn, giving the mount a darker, more dramatic frame than the blue-and-gold Seiryu design.
The Damascus blade is listed with clay tempering, while the black-wrapped tsuka and copper details keep the eye moving between the blade and the fittings. Its distinction lies in the scene-led mount and horn-accented saya.
