Key Features:
Tamahagane Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The heart of the katana is its blade, and this one is crafted from Tamahagane steel, a traditional Japanese steel known for its purity, durability, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. The blade is hand-sharpened by skilled artisans, ensuring precision and sharpness. It is also clay tempered, a traditional technique that involves coating the blade with clay before quenching, resulting in a real hamon - a visual indication of the blade's differential hardening, which provides a sharper edge and a more flexible spine.
Green Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle of the katana is adorned with real white samegawa, the skin of a stingray, which provides an excellent grip and unique texture. The handle is wrapped in green cord using knot paper wraps technology, a traditional technique that not only enhances the grip but also adds to the aesthetic beauty of the sword. The combination of real samegawa and green cord wrapping ensures a secure and comfortable grip, allowing for precise movements during use.
Black Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya, or scabbard, is made of wood and coated with premium natural lacquer, resulting in a sleek black hue. The lacquer not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the saya but also provides protection to the wood and the enclosed blade. The wooden saya ensures that the blade is kept safe and secure while not in use, adding to the longevity of the sword.
Copper Tsuba with Exquisite Patterns:
The tsuba, or hand guard, is hand-carved from copper and features exquisite patterns, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the katana. The copper material provides the necessary balance and hand protection during use, while the intricate patterns on the tsuba complement the overall aesthetic of the katana, making it a true work of art.
With its Tamahagane steel blade, real white samegawa and green cord-wrapped handle, black-hued wooden saya, and hand-carved copper tsuba with exquisite patterns, this katana is a functional piece of art that pays homage to the samurai tradition.

- Tamahagane steel blade, black scabbard, copper tsuba, green cord handle with white ray-skin wrap.
- The blade is made of iron sand and charcoal (carbon) called tamahagane, or jewel steel, strictly following the traditional japanese method. these two materials are smelted in a tatara furnace. the iron and carbon elements fuse together into the steel ore known as tamahagane. after this process, the high and low carbon pieces are sorted and forged. like a traditional samurai sword, the high carbon pieces will be used to make the powerful cutting edge and core, and the tough low carbon pieces are used to encase the high carbon core.
- After careful forging, the blade is clay tempered to create the natural hamon. hazuya and jizuya stones are used to bring out the hamon line and grain pattern. final polishing is done to enhance all of the details on the blade, giving it a beautiful, shining appearance. the blade is painstakingly worked on section by section, using wafer-thin slices cut from the main stones. the sword is strong enough for cutting thick bamboo, small trees, bones, iron and copper wire. it is a highly recommended sword for serious collectors.
