Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from T10 steel, is celebrated for its exceptional hardness and sharp edge retention.

The mirror-polished finish highlights the steel’s natural beauty, enhancing the hamon’s fluid lines. Designed for optimal cutting performance, this blade is suitable for everything from tameshigiri to display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba blends durability with artistic elegance. Featuring intricate engraved motifs, the malleable copper allows for exquisite detailing, making the guard not only protective but also visually captivating. Over time, the copper develops a rich patina, adding depth to the Katana’s aesthetic and showcasing its timeless appeal.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The tachi-style saya is adorned with traditional decorative elements like the kanagu kashiwaba and kogiri. These details reflect the heritage of Japanese swords, while the tsuka-ito cord, which extends partially over the saya, improves handling and adds a cohesive visual flow. Crafted from lacquered wood, the scabbard provides robust blade protection and an enduring shine that complements the sword’s refined design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, wrapped in authentic shagreen, offers a secure and textured grip. Renowned for its anti-slip properties and durability, shagreen ensures precision and control during use. Embedded copper menuki enhance the handle’s balance and provide subtle decorative highlights, contributing to the overall harmony of the Katana. Two bamboo mekugi pins secure the blade firmly, guaranteeing stability and long-lasting reliability.
