Introducing a truly extraordinary piece of craftsmanship, a handmade full-tang katana sword that is a symbol of the samurai spirit. This high-performance blade is forged from Damascus steel, renowned for its exceptional strength, edge holding capability, and unique beauty. The handle is wrapped with real white samegawa (ray skin) and black cord, providing both beauty and grip. The wood saya is intricately wrapped with green pearl rayskin, enhancing its durability and aesthetic appeal. The copper tsuba, designed with a bamboo theme, incorporates gold and silver gilding technology, adding a layer of sophistication and charm.
Key Features:
Damascus Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The high-performance blade is made of Damascus steel, which is created by folding and forge-welding layers of steel to create a distinctive pattern that resembles flowing water. This technique not only results in a beautiful, unique blade but also enhances its toughness and flexibility. The blade is then clay tempered, a traditional Japanese process that involves applying a coat of clay to the blade before heating and quenching, creating a real hamon - a visual representation of the steel's transition from its hardened edge to its softer spine.
Black Cord Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle of the katana is wrapped with real white samegawa and black cord. The samegawa provides a textured surface that helps to maintain a secure grip on the handle, while the black cord wrapping, or tsukamaki, adds aesthetic appeal and further enhances the grip. The combination of white samegawa and black cord creates a stunning visual contrast that enhances the overall beauty of the sword.
Green Pearl Rayskin Saya:
The saya, or scabbard, is made of wood and carefully wrapped with green pearl rayskin. This unique wrapping not only provides a visually stunning appearance but also increases the saya's durability. The combination of wood and green pearl rayskin creates a harmonious balance between the natural elements and the handcrafted details of the sword.
Copper Tsuba with Bamboo Theme:
The tsuba, or handguard, is made of copper and features a bamboo theme, a symbol of resilience and strength in Japanese culture. The tsuba is further refined using gold and silver gilding technology, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and making it a true work of art.
With its Damascus steel blade, real hamon, samegawa and cord wrapped handle, green pearl rayskin wrapped saya, and bamboo-themed tsuba with gold and silver gilding, it reflects the utmost attention to detail and a deep respect for traditional Japanese sword making. Whether you are a collector, a practitioner of martial arts, or someone who appreciates the beauty and craftsmanship of Japanese swords, this katana will be a treasured addition to your collection.
