Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Hand-forged by skilled artisans, the blade is made from Damascus steel, a material renowned for its layered wavy patterns and exceptional strength. This multi-layered forging process creates a durable blade capable of withstanding rigorous use while maintaining its sharpness. The distinctive hamon—a hallmark of traditional heat treatment—enhances both the blade’s cutting efficiency and its visual appeal, making it ideal for tameshigiri practice.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from high-quality magnolia wood, features a striking black and red lacquer finish that highlights the natural grain of the wood. This two-tone design blends tradition with modern elegance, creating a visually captivating scabbard that complements the blade. The lacquer also provides lasting protection against wear, ensuring durability over time.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic ray skin (shagreen), valued for its durability and textured, non-slip surface. This ensures a secure and comfortable grip, even during extended use. The use of shagreen adds both functionality and an element of luxury, enhancing the Katana’s overall design and practicality.
