Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from 1095 steel, renowned for its superior strength and edge retention, the blade of the Suhama Giri Katana is perfect for demanding martial arts practice. The striking violet hue of the blade adds a modern and captivating visual element without sacrificing the performance of the steel.

This process reinforces the cutting edge while maintaining flexibility, ensuring precise, reliable performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba is made from gold-plated copper, offering a balance of elegance and practicality. Copper, known for its durability and natural resistance to corrosion, provides effective hand protection while maintaining a lightweight profile for optimal balance. The intricate engravings on the tsuba are a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship, adding a layer of refinement and honouring the cultural heritage of the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Constructed from ebony wood, the saya combines durability with sophistication. Ebony is highly regarded for its density and strength, ensuring the blade remains protected while also lending an air of prestige to the Katana’s overall design. The kurigata, crafted from bull horn, further enhances the luxurious finish of the scabbard, contributing to the Katana’s authenticity and noble character.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), providing a secure and comfortable grip. The textured surface of the ray skin is prized for its durability and anti-slip properties, ensuring exceptional control during use. Copper menuki and dual bamboo mekugi ensure the structural integrity of the sword, combining traditional ornamentation with reliable functionality to enhance the Katana’s authentic appeal.
