The visible hamon, created through differential hardening, offers both hardness and flexibility, ideal for cutting practice. This detail highlights the art of traditional sword forging, while the mirror polish enhances the blade’s brilliance and reduces friction during movements, making it as visually captivating as it is effective.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba is intricately sculpted with the famous Kanagawa wave, symbolizing strength and perseverance in the face of challenges. This design, combined with the strength of brass, adds an artistic dimension to the Katana while providing effective hand protection. The carefully engraved motif adds refinement and depth, making the sword both functional and aesthetically rich.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya protects the blade with elegance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the lacquer provides additional protection against moisture and external damage, ensuring the sword’s longevity.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Crafted from solid wood and wrapped in ray skin (shagreen), the handle ensures a stable, comfortable grip, providing optimal control during use.
