Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 72 cm blade, hand-forged from T10 steel, is a testament to master craftsmanship. Its intricate hamon, visible along its entire length, is a result of the differential hardening process, ensuring a razor-sharp edge and excellent durability.

Balancing strength and beauty, the blade is perfect for both practice and display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

Its polished surface contrasts beautifully with the woven green-and-white sageo, adding a subtle yet vibrant touch to the overall design. The sleek finish not only enhances the saya‘s visual appeal but also ensures durability, making it resistant to wear and environmental damage.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
