Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from Damascus steel, is distinguished by its flowing, cascading patterns, achieved through the traditional folding process. This meticulous technique ensures exceptional durability and a razor-sharp edge that lasts. The natural grey tone of the steel reflects the raw authenticity of expert craftsmanship, highlighting the balance of beauty and functionality.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is intricately crafted to provide optimal hand protection and precise balance. As much a decorative element as it is functional, the guard showcases the artisan’s skill with its refined detailing, adding an understated elegance that enhances the Katana’s overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is made from solid wood, offering reliable protection for the blade. Its lacquered finish highlights traditional Japanese artistry, blending durability with aesthetic appeal. Whether painted or left with a natural finish, the scabbard exudes a quiet strength that complements the Katana’s clean, elegant design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Renowned for its textured surface and resistance to wear, shagreen ensures a secure and comfortable grip while adding a touch of sophistication. This carefully designed handle combines durability with elegance, enhancing both the feel and the visual appeal of the weapon.
