This katana is not merely a weapon, but a work of art, a symbol of strength, and a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Key Features:
T10 Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade with Real Hamon:
The blade of this katana is forged from high-performance T10 carbon steel, known for its excellent edge retention and resistance to abrasion. The blade is hand-sharpened by skilled artisans to achieve a sharp edge, and clay tempered, resulting in a real hamon. This traditional technique involves the application of clay to the blade before quenching, creating a differential hardening that results in a harder edge and a softer spine, achieving the perfect balance between sharpness and flexibility.
Black Handle with Real White Samegawa:
The handle is adorned with real white samegawa (stingray skin), a material that has been used traditionally for its durability and gripping properties. This, combined with the black cord wrapping, ensures a secure and comfortable grip during use. The juxtaposition of the white samegawa against the black cord wrapping creates a visually striking contrast, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the katana.
Brown Hardwood Saya with Real Horns Koiguchi And Kojiri:
The saya, or scabbard, is crafted from hardwood and finished in a natural brown hue, complementing the overall aesthetic of the katana. The saya features real horn Koiguchi (scabbard mouth) and Kojiri (scabbard end), adding to the authenticity and durability of the piece. The natural brown hue of the saya, combined with the real horn elements, gives the katana a traditional and timeless appearance.
Copper Tsuba with Python Theme:
The tsuba, or hand guard, is intricately crafted from copper and features a python theme, symbolizing power and adaptability. The tsuba is enhanced with gold and silver gilding technology, highlighting the intricate details of the design and adding a touch of opulence to the katana. The tsuba not only serves as a protective element during use but also as a focal point of the katana's aesthetic.
With its T10 carbon steel blade, real white samegawa and black cord-wrapped handle, hardwood saya in natural brown hue with real horn Koiguchi and Kojiri, and copper tsuba with python theme enhanced by gold and silver gilding, this katana is a piece of functional art that pays homage to the samurai tradition. Whether you are a martial artist, a collector, or an enthusiast of fine craftsmanship, this katana is a valuable addition to any collection.
