In the realm of revered weapons, few have captured the essence of artistry, tradition, and deadly efficiency like the katana. The very mention of this sword brings forth images of samurai, honor, and battles under the cherry blossoms. The katana we present today is not just a weapon, but a piece of history and an emblem of craftsmanship. Handmade and crafted with precision, every inch of this blade tells a story of dedication, skill, and the warrior spirit.
Key Features:
1095 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade:
Forged from 1095 carbon steel, the blade is the heart of this exquisite sword. This type of steel is renowned for its hardness and edge-retention properties, making it a prime choice for weapons that are designed for combat and cutting. The sharp edge glistens menacingly under the light, signaling a readiness for any challenge. Being full-tang, the blade extends the entire length of the weapon, providing superior balance and structural integrity. This ensures that the katana remains reliable, robust, and resilient, even under the duress of intensive use.
Green Cord Handle with PU Green Samegawa:
A katana's handle is more than just a grip; it is a testament to the swordsmith's attention to detail and the user's connection to the blade. This katana boasts a handle adorned with PU green samegawa (rayskin), lending it a unique texture and a classic aesthetic. This samegawa serves a dual purpose, providing both a firm grip and an artistic appeal. Complementing the rayskin is the green cord wrapping, which not only augments the sword's visual appeal but also provides an additional layer of grip for the wielder.
Green Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
Encasing this blade is a saya made of hardwood. The choice of hardwood ensures durability, safeguarding the blade from external elements while providing a snug fit. But this is no ordinary saya; it is enhanced with a premium natural lacquer that gives it a smooth, glossy finish. The serene green hue of the saya mirrors the handle's decor, establishing a harmonious balance between the various elements of the sword. The sageo, the cord attached to the saya, is often overlooked but plays a pivotal role in the presentation and utility of the katana. This sword's sageo is green, aligning with the overarching theme, and serves as a functional element allowing the wielder to secure the saya to their belt or armor.
Alloy Tsuba with Flowers Theme:
The tsuba, or handguard, is a protective element that stands between the blade and the handle, ensuring the user's safety. Made from a sturdy alloy material, this tsuba is not merely functional but also a canvas of artistry. Embellished with a floral theme, it pays homage to nature's beauty and adds an intricate detail to the overall design of the sword.
This handmade katana is a symphony of craftsmanship, merging functionality with art. Each component, from the 1095 carbon steel blade to the flower-themed tsuba, has been meticulously designed and curated to create not just a weapon but a piece of history. It's a tribute to ancient traditions, infused with modern touches, resulting in a masterpiece that any sword enthusiast or collector would be proud to own.
