The precisely tied two-tone sageo not only serves as a functional attachment but also enhances the Katana’s visual appeal, showcasing traditional Japanese artistry.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic white shagreen (stingray skin), prized for its durability and non-slip texture. This material ensures a secure grip for precision handling while adding a luxurious feel. The finely detailed copper menuki embedded within the handle provide an additional layer of elegance, demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail that defines the Katana Edo.
