The textured shagreen, known for its natural adhesion and moisture resistance, ensures optimal control even during prolonged use. This material also offers exceptional durability, withstanding wear and providing a reliable grip in all conditions.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixing (Mekugi)
The finely crafted copper menuki add an extra touch of refinement, connecting the Katana to the rich history of Japanese blades. With its antibacterial properties and evolving patina, copper serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose.
