Key Features:
1095 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade:
Central to this katana is its blade, meticulously crafted from 1095 carbon steel. Esteemed for its high carbon content, this steel offers a blade that marries supreme durability with a razor-like edge. The choice of material speaks of tradition, of ancient forges where fire and metal danced together. This steel ensures the blade is not just a tool of combat but a lasting testament to the essence of the samurai: unyielding, sharp, and indomitable.
Black Cord Handle with PU Red Samegawa:
To hold this katana is to embrace centuries of tradition. The handle, ornately adorned with PU red samegawa (imitation ray skin), offers not only an unmatched grip but also an aesthetic journey. The fiery red texture of the samegawa juxtaposed with the somber black cord wrap tells a story of passion interwoven with discipline, symbolizing the balance between the heart's fervor and the mind's restraint.
Multi-colored Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya is where the katana's spirit finds its visual voice. Sculpted from select hardwood, it ensures the blade's sanctity from time and elements. But what truly sets this saya apart is its aesthetic brilliance. Bathed in a premium natural lacquer, it flaunts a myriad of colors, creating an exquisite canvas of intricate patterns. These patterns, reminiscent of landscapes, dreams, and folklore, turn the saya into a tapestry of tales, adding layers of mystique to the sword.
Copper Tsuba with Flowers Theme:
Where the blade melds with the handle, the tsuba stands vigilant—a confluence of protection and artistry. Forged from lustrous copper, its role transcends mere utility. The tsuba, adorned with a delicate floral theme, serves as a reminder of nature's transient beauty, contrasting the eternal, unwavering spirit of the warrior. Each flower etched into the copper narrates a tale of bloom, allure, and the cyclical dance of life.
This handmade katana is more than just a symbol of martial valor; it is a chronicle encapsulated in steel, wood, and copper. From its unfaltering 1095 carbon steel blade to the vibrant tapestry of its saya and the nature-inspired tsuba, it resonates with an age-old ethos. To own this katana is to be a custodian of art, history, and an undying martial legacy. It stands as a beacon of the timeless dance between strength, beauty, and honor.
