This unique sword is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike, distinguished by its unparalleled craftsmanship and innovative design.

At the heart of the SilkSting lies its blade – a 29" marvel of metallurgy forged from black Damascus steel. This isn't just any Damascus; it's created through an innovative process that darkens the steel, giving the blade its brooding beauty and making it unlike anything else on the market. The painstaking hand-forging process, which involves up to 1,030 degrees of heat and results in a hardness of 48HC, ensures that each sword is as functional as it is beautiful, with a razor-sharp edge and incredible durability.

The sword's handle and saya are crafted from select hardwood, each piece hand-lacquered to a satin finish that feels as good as it looks. The seamless transition from handle to saya exemplifies the sword's minimalist aesthetic while providing a discreet and effective means of storage and transport.

Despite its size, the SilkSting Shirasaya Sword is surprisingly easy to handle, thanks to its careful balancing and lightweight design. Whether displayed as a part of your collection or wielded in practice, it's a piece that commands attention without demanding effort.

The Shinwa SilkSting Shirasaya Sword is more than just a weapon; it's a work of art that challenges preconceived notions of what a sword can be. Its clean lines and understated elegance make it a standout piece in any collection, proving that sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Experience the pinnacle of swordcraft with the SilkSting, and let its unique charm and formidable presence enrich your collection.

The Shinwa SilkSting Shirasaya Sword stands out with its sleek, clean lines and minimalist design, offering a modern take on traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Featuring a 29" full tang blade made from black Damascus steel, the sword is hand-forged with 828 layers of 1045 and 1060 carbon steel, resulting in a uniquely dark and mesmerizing pattern.

The handle and saya are crafted from tough hardwood, finished with a hand-lacquered satiny smooth surface that provides both durability and elegance. The seamless, fluid design of the sword, from the kashira to the saya base, is both discreet and stealthy, ensuring it catches the eye of any collector.
