Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged using the ancient Kobuse technique, the blade of the Yūkan’na Katana is a fusion of T10 steel and a Damascus hamon achieved through clay tempering.

Shagreen, celebrated for its resistance to wear, ensures the scabbard remains a symbol of prestige and refinement, making it an integral part of the sword’s overall design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin, providing a secure and ergonomic grip.
