Savage yet beautiful, tough yet graceful, Sokojikara's “Shadow Grove" Katana is a wild animal in the refined trappings of a nobleman. This traditional Japanese samurai sword is beautiful, eye-catching and no doubt impressive from the very first glance. But many of the Shadow Grove’s greatest treasures lie beneath its striking visual facade, and some - like clay tempering - are even altogether intangible. The Shadow Grove is a veritable swordcraft goldmine, never ceasing to yield rich sword-wielding experiences from the moment you first grasp the tsuka to your inaugural cut and every time you brandish it beyond.
