Product description
Imori is the name of the Japanese mountain newt. The golden decorative newts on this simple but elegantly shaped katana give it its name.
This katana measures 100 cm overall, with a 71 cm blade and a 28.5 cm grip (tsuka). It weighs about 1,290 g. Hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel in the Shinogi-Zukiri style without a fuller, the blade comes sharp and ready to use. The grip wrapping is made from blue cotton in the Katate-Maki style (designed for war), and the black lacquered scabbard (saya) features a shiny black finish in the Kuroishime style. Each katana ships with a striking collector's box.
John Lee models are inspired by historical originals and built to high-quality standards. No plastics are used — only authentic materials like metal, brass, wood, and shagreen. Every John Lee weapon includes a seal and a certificate of authenticity.
