Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Oni Katana features unique spiral patterns, reminiscent of tranquil ripples on still water. This intricate design, created by layering the steel, gives the blade exceptional strength and captures light to reveal subtle grey highlights.

Designed for both protection and beauty, the guard acts not only as a separator between the blade and handle but as a work of art that tells a story. Each carved detail enhances the Katana’s noble and majestic appearance, providing optimal safety during handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lightweight lacquered wood, the saya is designed to protect the blade while adding a refined aesthetic. Its smooth, glossy surface reflects the meticulous finishing process, creating a harmonious and elegant overall look. The scabbard serves both a functional purpose and adds sophistication, making the Oni Katana a prized collector’s item.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in synthetic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka ensures a comfortable and secure grip. Its unique texture, combined with traditional braiding, offers superior adhesion and a visually captivating design. This blend of modern materials and traditional techniques allows for smooth handling, reinforcing the Katana’s durability and strength.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixing (Mekugi)
Finely crafted zinc alloy menuki add an additional artistic touch to the design, while the two bamboo mekugi ensure a secure, durable attachment of the blade to the handle, guaranteeing perfect stability during use.
