Every element of this sword reflects the precision and finesse of traditional Japanese artistry, making it both functional and elegant.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, this blade is renowned for its high carbon content, providing outstanding hardness and excellent cutting ability.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted copper tsuba is a work of art in itself. Combining tradition with functionality, it offers reliable hand protection while absorbing impact effectively. Copper, chosen for its malleability and durability, brings a touch of elegance to the Katana and ensures long-lasting strength.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, lacquered in deep blue and adorned with a ray-skin-like pattern, symbolizes strength and longevity. The lacquered finish protects the blade from external elements, while the unique texture gives the scabbard a visually striking appearance and tactile feel. This combination of materials and design provides both a distinct look and optimal protection for the blade.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen, known for its excellent durability and natural grip. This prized material, with its unique texture, ensures a secure and comfortable hold, crucial for precise cutting manoeuvres. Discreet copper menuki add a subtle aesthetic detail, while the bamboo mekugi pins secure the blade firmly within the handle, maintaining the Katana’s structural integrity.
