Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the blade is highly regarded for its resistance to impact and wear, making it an excellent choice for rigorous practice.

Intricately engraved motifs on the tsuba add a refined touch to the Katana’s design while providing effective hand protection, balancing aesthetics with practicality.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is made from lightweight wood and coated with a glossy black lacquer that combines elegance with durability. Adorned with vibrant green brushstrokes symbolising vitality and renewal, the saya brings a contemporary flair to the traditional design. The lacquer finish not only enhances its appearance but also protects the wood from environmental elements, ensuring the scabbard retains its beauty and functionality over time.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in synthetic leather designed to mimic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a comfortable, non-slip grip suitable for extended use. This modern material is durable and easy to maintain, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Zinc alloy menuki add a touch of elegance, while the dual bamboo mekugi pins ensure the blade is securely fastened to the handle, guaranteeing stability and safety during practice.
