Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from purple Damascus steel, is a remarkable fusion of skill and visual allure.

The unique purple hue adds depth and elegance, symbolising nobility and strength. Perfect for both demonstration and use, this blade seamlessly combines aesthetics with performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted copper tsuba exemplifies elegance and tradition. Copper, chosen for its malleability and corrosion resistance, ensures durability and a luxurious finish. Each detail is meticulously sculpted, making the guard not just protective but a central feature of the Katana’s refined look.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Inspired by the tachi style, the saya exudes sophistication. Adorned with traditional fittings, including the obitori kanagu kashiwaba and kogiri, these elements enhance its distinguished appearance. The extended tsuka-ito cord on the saya adds both visual appeal and improved grip, making the Katana easier to handle with precision and grace.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), offers a secure and comfortable grip. Ray skin is valued for its textured surface and durability, ensuring reliable adhesion even during rigorous training. This high-quality material is often found in premium Katanas due to its longevity and refined aesthetic.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixation (Mekugi)
The copper menuki and mekugi provide both structural integrity and a distinctive visual touch. Each detail has been crafted to complement the Katana’s design, adding an element of luxury while ensuring stability and security.
