Key Features:
Damascus Steel Full Tang Blade:
The blade is forged from Damascus steel, renowned for its distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Known for its toughness, edge holding ability, and sharpness, Damascus steel creates a blade that is not only beautiful to behold but is also highly functional and sharp-edged. The process of creating Damascus steel involves folding and hammering the steel multiple times, resulting in a blade that is as strong as it is stunning.
Brown Handle with Real Black Samegawa:
The handle is adorned with real black samegawa (rayskin), which offers an excellent grip and adds to the visual allure of the sword. It is wrapped in brown cord using a traditional technique, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip while also contributing to the aesthetic elegance of the sword. The contrasting colors of the black samegawa and brown cord create a striking and sophisticated appearance.
Wengewood Saya with Natural Hue:
The saya is crafted from wengewood, a tropical hardwood known for its durability and unique grain patterns. It is stained in a brown hue that complements the brown cord wrapping of the handle and enhances the overall aesthetic of the sword. The use of wengewood ensures that the saya is not only visually appealing but also robust and able to protect the blade effectively.
Copper Tsuba with Unique Patterns:
The tsuba is made of copper and features unique patterns that add a touch of individuality to the sword. Copper is a traditional material used in the making of tsuba and is known for its malleability and aesthetic appeal. The intricate patterns on the tsuba make it a standout feature of this katana and showcase the artisan's skill and attention to detail.
This handmade full-tang katana sword, featuring a sharp-edged Damascus steel blade, a handle adorned with real black samegawa and wrapped in brown cord, a wengewood saya in a brown hue, and a uniquely patterned copper tsuba, is a remarkable example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
