Features of the Kuro Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, a premium grade of Maru steel, this blade is renowned for its high carbon content, delivering exceptional hardness and impressive resilience.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba achieves a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

The finely engraved motifs on the tsuba enhance its visual appeal while retaining maximum practicality, creating an elegant yet highly functional design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lightweight and durable magnolia wood, is designed to protect the blade while ensuring ease of use. Magnolia is highly valued for its natural resistance to moisture, safeguarding the blade against rust. The lacquered finish adds a refined touch of sophistication while improving the scabbard’s durability, making it resistant to scratches and impacts.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is crafted from solid wood and wrapped in genuine shagreen, a traditional material prized for its textured, non-slip surface. This ensures a secure and comfortable grip, even during extended use. The meticulously woven wrapping enhances the Katana’s authenticity and provides excellent ergonomics, crucial for precise control and fluid movements.
