Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from zinc alloy, the blade of the Yasuke Katana features a mesmerising blue finish, offering a striking visual appeal.

Over time, the copper develops a natural patina, adding character and a sense of historical authenticity that makes it even more desirable as a collector’s item.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The ebony wood saya is a testament to sophistication and strength. Its smooth, polished finish enhances the Katana’s overall elegance, while the bull horn kurigata provides a luxurious accent. The securely tied sageo not only ensures practicality but also complements the refined aesthetic of the Katana, making it a visually cohesive and appealing piece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen, the tsuka delivers a secure and comfortable grip. The traditional texture of shagreen, known for its durability, enhances the Katana’s longevity while maintaining its elegant look. Zinc alloy menuki and bamboo mekugi provide structural stability, ensuring the blade is securely attached to the handle. These features not only improve functionality but also add subtle decorative details that align with the Katana’s sophisticated design.
