Key Features:
Damascus Steel Full Tang Blade with Real hamon:
The blade of the katana is forged from Damascus steel, renowned for its distinctive patterns, strength, and sharpness. The blade is hand-sharpened by a skilled craftsman, ensuring a sharp edge that performs excellently in cutting tests and combat situations. Additionally, the blade is clay tempered, a process in which clay is applied to the blade before heating and quenching, resulting in the formation of a genuine hamon. The hamon, a wavy pattern along the edge of the blade, is not only aesthetically pleasing but also signifies different hardness levels on the blade, contributing to its strength and flexibility.
Black Cord Handle with Real Red Samegawa:
The handle, or tsuka, is decorated with real red samegawa, or ray skin, a traditional material used in Japanese sword making that provides a textured surface for a secure grip. The handle is also wrapped with black cord, enhancing the grip while adding a touch of elegance to the overall design of the sword. The combination of red samegawa and black cord wrappings creates a visually striking contrast that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Black Pearl Rayskin Saya with Real Horns Koiguchi And Kojiri:
The saya, or scabbard, is made of wood and wrapped with black pearl rayskin, adding an extra layer of protection and elegance to the sword. The saya also features real horn koiguchi (mouth) and kojiri (end cap), traditional elements that add to the durability and aesthetic appeal of the saya. The black pearl rayskin wrapping and real horn elements combine to create a saya that is not only functional but also a work of art.
Copper Tsuba with Flowers Theme:
The tsuba, or hand guard, is made of copper and features a floral theme. The design of the tsuba is not only decorative but also functional, serving to protect the hand from sliding onto the blade during use. Additionally, the tsuba is adorned with silver gilding, a technique that involves applying a thin layer of silver to the surface, adding an extra layer of beauty and refinement to the sword.
In conclusion, this handcrafted full-tang katana is a true masterpiece, reflecting the highest standards of craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. From its sharp-edged Damascus steel blade with a genuine hamon to its beautifully adorned handle and saya, and its intricately designed tsuba, every aspect of this sword reflects the skill and dedication of the craftsman who made it. Whether you are a collector, a martial artist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and tradition of Japanese swords, this katana is a worthy addition to any collection.
