The blade of this katana is forged using the traditional sanmai lamination technique, which combines a hard edge with a resilient body, significantly enhancing its practical performance. A feature of this blade is its increased width, providing greater strength and cutting power. The hazuya polish highlights the hamon (temper line), making it strikingly visible and visually captivating. This katana seamlessly blends artistry and functionality, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and practitioners. Whether for display or daily cutting practice, it is a remarkable piece that delivers on both aesthetics and performance.
High quality ray skin (same) is used on the tsuka, and hishigami(paper wedges) is used while doing tsuka-maki. The tsuba is brass, antique finished.
