Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the Tonbo Katana’s blade features wavy patterns, reminiscent of the gentle flow of water. This steel, prized for its exceptional strength and sharp edge retention, strikes a perfect balance of durability and finesse. The distinct hamon, achieved through precise heat treatment, enhances the blade’s hardness, ensuring clean, precise cuts while showcasing expert craftsmanship.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a celebration of traditional craftsmanship, adorned with a motif of a dragonfly (tonbo) in graceful flight among delicately crafted silver leaves. Copper, valued for its strength and corrosion resistance, is enhanced with fine silver detailing, adding elegance and distinction to this beautiful piece.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid ebony wood, the saya provides optimal protection for the blade. Ebony, renowned for its density and strength, ensures unmatched durability while offering a visually striking elegance. Its deep, dark finish contrasts beautifully with the brightness of the blade, adding to the Katana’s overall aesthetic appeal.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
