Blade (刀身): The purple Damascus steel blade, a distinctive feature of this Katana, is as much a technical feat as an aesthetic one. Damascus steel is renowned for its intricate patterns and exceptional strength, and the purple hue adds a visual depth that evokes nobility and mystery. This choice of steel reflects not only beauty but also superior cutting quality, perfect for handling and demonstration.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted, high-end copper guard is unparalleled in its opulence, with every detail representing a commitment to traditional elegance. Copper is chosen for its malleability and corrosion resistance, offering durability without compromising beauty.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The Saya, with its Tachi-style mount, displays a rare sophistication, enhanced by Obitori Kanagu Kashiwaba and Kogiri accessories. The choice of Tsuka-Ito stringing that continues on the Saya is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also testifies to enhanced functionality, allowing better grip and handling of the scabbard.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in genuine stingray leather, the Tsuka is crafted for maximum durability and grip. The texture of stingray, known for its robustness and comfortable grip, is a material of choice for high-quality Katana handles.
