Key Features:
1095 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade:
Holding the very essence of the Azure Marble Katana is its magnificent blade—hand-sharpened, bearing a sharp edge, crafted with unparalleled precision from 1095 carbon steel. Known for its high carbon content, this steel choice is emblematic of supreme durability and exceptional sharpness. The blade's full-tang design ensures balance, offering wielders the assurance of stability and a deeper connection to centuries of samurai history. The gleaming edge, forged by skilled artisans, sings songs of battles, honor, and an undying spirit.
Dark Blue Handle with PU White Samegawa:
The tsuka, or handle, offers a union of functionality and splendor. Made from robust wood, its tactile surface is graced with PU white samegawa. This modern adaptation of the classic sharkskin texture provides not only an enhanced grip but also an alluring visual contrast. Wrapped intricately around this is a dark blue cord, reminiscent of a moonlit night, marrying both aesthetic charm and practical grasp. When one holds the handle, they're not just grasping a tool; they're connecting with centuries of warrior lineage and craftsmanship.
Mable Style Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
Guarding the blade, we find the saya—a masterpiece in its own right. Crafted diligently from hardwood, its surface dazzles with a marble style, achieved through premium natural lacquer. The multi-colored hue dances and shifts, reminiscent of the varied landscapes of ancient Japan—from its azure seas to its towering mountains. This modern touch to the traditionally crafted scabbard embodies the timeless dance of nature and art. Paired perfectly with the saya is the dark blue sageo, its color a silent promise of the depth and mystery that lies within the blade.
Round Copper Tsuba:
Completing this work of art is the tsuba. Meticulously fashioned from copper, its round form serves as a sentinel—protecting the hand and symbolizing the eternal cycle of life and warfare. Beyond its functional aspect, the copper tsuba offers a soft, gleaming contrast to the blade, a reminder of the delicate balance between strength and beauty, battle and peace.
The Azure Marble Katana is a symphony of heritage, dedication, and innovation. Every part, from its razor-sharp blade to its marble-esque saya, tells tales of ancient traditions infused with contemporary artistry. To possess this sword is to hold a piece of history, reimagined for the modern age yet deeply rooted in the timeless spirit of the samurai. This is more than a weapon—it's a legacy, a journey, a testament to the sublime alchemy of skill and passion.
