Key Features:
T10 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The heart of the katana is its blade, and this one is forged from T10 carbon steel, known for its superior edge retention and durability. The blade is clay tempered, a traditional Japanese technique that involves coating the blade with a special clay mixture before quenching. This process results in a real hamon, a visual indication of the differential hardening of the blade, resulting in a blade that is both hard and sharp at the edge and flexible along the spine.
Black Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle of the katana is adorned with real white samegawa, the skin of a stingray, traditionally used for its excellent grip and unique texture. The handle is also wrapped in black cord, a traditional technique that not only enhances grip but also adds to the aesthetic beauty of the sword. The combination of real white samegawa and black cord wrapping ensures a secure and comfortable grip while allowing for precise movements during use.
Red and Black Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya, or scabbard, is made of hardwood and coated with premium natural lacquer, resulting in a mix-colored appearance with a predominant black hue. The lacquer not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the saya but also provides protection to the wood and the enclosed blade. The hardwood ensures that the blade is kept safe and secure while not in use, adding to the longevity of the sword.
Copper Tsuba with Wave Theme:
The tsuba, or hand guard, is made of copper and features a wave theme, symbolizing strength and fluidity in Japanese culture. The copper material provides the necessary balance and hand protection during use, while the wave design adds a touch of uniqueness and character to the katana, making it a true work of art.
With its T10 carbon steel blade, real white samegawa and black cord-wrapped handle, mix-colored hardwood saya, and wave-themed copper tsuba, this katana is a functional piece of art that pays homage to the samurai tradition. Whether you are a martial artist, a collector, or someone who values fine craftsmanship, this katana is a valuable addition to your collection.
