Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the 72 cm blade showcases stunning wavy patterns that are iconic to this layered forging process.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a masterpiece of design, featuring intricate motifs inspired by nature and ancient Japanese traditions. Serving as both a decorative and functional element, it offers solid hand protection while ensuring a balanced grip. The artistry of the tsuba adds depth to the Katana’s symbolic appeal, making it a perfect blend of beauty and practicality.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lightweight, durable wood and finished in deep black lacquer, the saya exudes sophistication. The scabbard is adorned with subtle, traditional carvings, enhancing its aesthetic while providing reliable blade protection. The glossy finish not only adds elegance but also shields the wood from wear, ensuring the Katana remains in pristine condition.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, wrapped in authentic shagreen, provides a secure, textured grip that’s essential for confident handling. Renowned for its durability and anti-slip properties, shagreen enhances both functionality and visual appeal. Zinc alloy menuki, subtly embedded beneath the wrapping, and dual bamboo mekugi pins ensure the blade’s stability and durability, maintaining the structural integrity of the Katana.
