A labor of love, this blade is hand-sharpened, promising not just precision, but also a level of intimacy between the craftsman and the weapon. One of the most distinguishing features of this masterpiece is its clay-tempered blade, revealing a genuine hamon - the mesmerizing, wave-like pattern on the blade's edge, which is a testament to both its beauty and formidable cutting capability.
Yellow Handle with Real Samegawa:
Ensuring harmony between functionality and aesthetics, the handle of this katana is a masterpiece in its own right.

Adding to its elegance, the handle is carefully wrapped in a radiant yellow cord, offering both comfort and a touch of visual grandeur. The intricate knot paper wraps technology has been used, a testament to the artisan's dedication to preserving time-honored traditions while enhancing the grip's effectiveness.
Black Bamboo Style Saya:
Protecting this blade is a saya of impeccable craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the resolute and flexible bamboo, its design is an embodiment of both strength and grace. Made from choicest wood, the scabbard promises durability while its premium natural lacquer, with its profound black hue, gives it a sleek and sophisticated finish. Complementing this is the sageo, a harmonious blend of earthy brown and serene blue, serving not just a functional role but also adding to the katana's overall aesthetics.
Copper Tsuba with Flowers Theme:
