Who Is Bai Hu — The White Tiger of the West?

Bai Hu (White Tiger) is one of the Four Symbols (Si Xiang) of Chinese cosmology — the supreme guardian of the West, the direction of autumn, the metal element, and the setting sun. The White Tiger rules the seven western lunar mansions, the stars of the western sky that form the tiger's body in Chinese astronomical tradition. In Chinese warrior culture, Bai Hu represents supreme martial authority — its roar is the sound that drives away evil and announces the presence of unstoppable force. This katana carries that name as a declaration of power, precision, and warrior spirit.

1065 Carbon Steel — Oil Quenched, Tempered, Battle-Ready

The 1065 carbon steel blade undergoes oil quenching and tempering — achieving the ideal balance of hardness and toughness for a true battle-ready edge. Oil quenching cools the blade more slowly than water quenching, reducing warping and cracking risk while maintaining the hardness needed for cutting practice. The result is a sharpened blade suitable for tameshigiri, martial arts training, and serious collection. At $189.99, this is exceptional value for a handcrafted battle-ready katana with deep Chinese mythology inspiration.

Handcrafted Full Tang — 103cm, 1.2kg

Handcrafted with full tang construction — the blade extends through the entire length of the handle for authentic balance and structural integrity. Traditional proportions: 72cm blade, 30cm handle. Zinc alloy fittings (tsuba, habaki, fuchi) provide refined, unified hardware. Wooden saya included.
