Forged Mastery: The heart of this katana lies in its steel – a marvel of folded damascus, meticulously shaped through traditional methods. The result is not just a blade, but a testament to the artistry that emerges from folding and forging metal. The blade's authenticity is further adorned with a genuine hamon, achieved through the ancient technique of clay tempering. This is not just a katana; it's a legacy in steel.
Precision Refined: The edge of this masterpiece carries the whisper-sharp lineage of Japanese whetstone mastery. Painstakingly hand-sharpened, it embodies the harmonious marriage of art and practicality. To enhance its allure, the blade's surface embraces the absence of a hi (blood groove) on each side. Should you desire this feature, our artisans stand ready to personalize your experience.
Handle of Heritage: Wrapped in authentic rayskin and adorned with Japanese cotton ito, the tsuka (handle) is a tactile delight that pays homage to tradition. Complete with a Menuki ornament, it's a nod to the intricate detailing that defines Japanese craftsmanship.
Enigmatic Ensheathment: Nestled within a black lacquered wood saya (scabbard), the blade finds its resting place – a juxtaposition of strength and elegance. The Tsuba, an exquisitely engraved iron guard, stands as a protector of both art and warrior.
Malleability in Hand: For those curious to explore the katana's composition, rest assured – it arrives brand new and fully disassemblable. Engage with its construction, understand its spirit, and revel in the mastery that brings it to life.
