Blade (刀身): The manganese steel selected for the golden blade combines resilience and flexibility, making it an optimal choice for practicing cutting techniques. The blade's unusual and striking golden color adds a visual dimension of prestige and distinction.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Tsuba's sculpted copper offers natural corrosion resistance while allowing for intricate and elegant design details. The guard is not only an aesthetic focal point, but also a functional piece ensuring hand protection.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Ebony wood for the Saya is a dense, heavy wood renowned for its durability and dark elegance. It is complemented by a Kurigata made of bull horn, a material traditionally valued for its strength and natural beauty. The carefully braided rope not only provides extra security during transport, but also an aesthetic contrast with the dark wood.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Genuine stingray leather is prized for its strength and grip, improving maneuverability and control when wielding the katana. Copper Menuki ornaments and bamboo Mekugi ensure the structural integrity of the handle while adding touches of refined craftsmanship.
