When you look at the antique finished Tsuba, of the Golden Oriole Katana, you may recognize the story. It is the story of a mantis stalking the cricket. The mantis is unaware that he is being stalked by the Golden Oriole at the same time.

Stories aside, the Golden Oriole Katana, by Paul Chen, is both functional and highly decorative. This high end sword will make a great addition to your collection, and will serve its purpose as a tameshigiri or cutting practice katana.

The blade of this sword is hand forged high carbon steel. The blade is edge-tempered using clay – to give it a 60HRC edge and a 40HRC body – making it perfect for practice. In the right light the blade has a Golden Hue, the perfect complement to the swords name. It also has a bo-hi (groove) and a very distinct hammon.

The fittings of the Golden Oriole have an antique finish with gold accents. This katana also has genuine high-quality ray skin with a brown Ito tightly wound overtop. This sword comes complete with a maintenance kit and a cloth sword bag.

The Golden Oriole Katana as a Collector’s Item
For the collector, the Golden Oriole is likely to become the prize of their sword collection. Its decorative accents and golden hue make it unique when compared to other swords. We suggest ordering a stand with your Oriole to ensure you have the right tool to prominently display this beautiful sword.

The Golden Oriole Katana as a Functional Sword
Along with being an absolute beauty of a sword, the Golden Oriole will serve you well in cutting practice and tameshigiri. Its hand-forged blade is made to last, and the blade is double pegged to the tang for safety. Using this sword in practice is likely going to get you noticed as well!
