Key Features:
Damascus Steel Full Tang Blade with Real hamon:
The blade of the katana, forged from Damascus steel, is a marvel of craftsmanship. Damascus steel, renowned for its distinctive patterns of banding, is created by repeatedly folding and hammering the steel to achieve high strength and flexibility. The blade is clay tempered, a traditional technique involving the application of clay to the blade before heating and quenching. This results in a real hamon, the temper line that gives the blade its unique character and beauty. The sharp edge of the blade, combined with the intricate patterns of the steel and hamon, make this katana a masterpiece of functional art.
Black Cord Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle, or tsuka, is adorned with real white samegawa (ray skin) and black cord wrapping. The samegawa provides a textured surface for a secure grip, while the black cord wrapping adds an aesthetic touch and further enhances the grip. The combination of white samegawa and black cord wrapping creates a visually stunning contrast and a harmonious balance between form and function.
Black Hardwood Saya with Premium Natural Lacquer:
The saya, the scabbard that houses the blade, is crafted from hardwood and coated with a premium natural lacquer in a deep black hue. The lacquer gives the saya a smooth, glossy finish, protecting the wood from moisture and damage. The black hue of the saya complements the other elements of the katana, creating a cohesive and elegant design.
Copper Tsuba with Flowers Theme:
The tsuba, the hand guard, is made of copper and decorated with a floral theme. The copper material provides a rustic and traditional appearance, while the floral theme adds a touch of elegance. The tsuba also uses gold and silver gilding technology, adding a layer of opulence and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the katana.
In conclusion, this handcrafted full-tang katana is a magnificent blend of tradition, artistry, and functionality. The Damascus steel blade with its authentic hamon, the elegantly adorned handle, the premium lacquered saya, and the intricately gilded tsuba all come together to create a masterpiece that is both beautiful and practical. Whether you are a collector, a martial artist, or simply someone who appreciates the fine artistry of traditional Japanese swords, this katana is a worthy addition to your collection.
