  • Sharp Blade Made of High-Quality Steel: Our blades are forged from premium steel, featuring unique hamon patterns created through traditional differential hardening techniques.
  • Elegant Blade Curvature: The katana's graceful curve, known as sori, enhances both its aesthetic appeal and combat effectiveness.
  • Comfortable Handle Wrapped in Cotton or Silk: The tsuka (handle) offers a secure grip, often adorned with intricate menuki for both decoration and improved handling.
  • Guard (Tsuba): This protective component showcases various artistic designs, reflecting Japanese cultural motifs and samurai heraldry.
  • Scabbard (Saya): Our lacquered wooden scabbards are both protective and decorative, preserving the blade while adding to the sword's overall beauty.
