Key Features:
Folded Melaleuca Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The blade is forged from Folded Melaleuca steel, a steel characterized by its distinctive layers and patterns created through the folding process. This process involves repeatedly heating, hammering, and folding the steel, resulting in a blade with increased strength and flexibility. The blade is hand-sharpened to achieve a sharp edge and is clay-tempered, a technique that involves applying a layer of clay to the blade before heating and quenching, resulting in a genuine hamon, a beautiful wavy pattern along the blade's edge.
Black Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle is decorated with real white samegawa (rayskin), providing an excellent grip and enhancing the sword's aesthetic appeal. It is wrapped in black cord using a traditional technique that ensures a secure grip while adding to the sword's visual appeal. The combination of white samegawa and black cord creates a classic and elegant appearance.
Multi-colored Hardwood Saya with Real Horns Koiguchi And Kojiri:
The saya is made of hardwood and coated with premium natural lacquer in a multi-colored hue, creating a visually stunning appearance. It features real horns at the koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and kojiri (scabbard end), adding to its authenticity and traditional appeal. The combination of hardwood, natural lacquer, and real horns ensures the saya is both durable and visually striking.
Copper Tsuba with Gold And Silver Gilding:
The tsuba is made of copper and features a unique shape, adding a touch of individuality to the sword. It is enhanced with gold and silver gilding technology, a process that involves applying thin layers of gold and silver to the surface, creating a luxurious and detailed finish. This intricate design and the use of precious metals make the tsuba a standout feature of this katana.
