In physics, annihilation is the process by which matter and antimatter meet and convert entirely into energy — a process of perfect, total transformation. The grey cord wrap handle deepens this aesthetic: grey is the color of ash, of aftermath, of the world after transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEbony Wood Saya — Premium Rare Black Wood Scabbard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony (Diospyros) is one of the rarest and most prized woods in the world — extraordinarily dense (it sinks in water), capable of a mirror polish, and naturally deep black. Most katanas at this price use standard painted wood scabbards. The Annihilation Katana includes a genuine rare ebony wood saya — a premium feature that elevates it far above standard wooden scabbards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerious collectors seeking a premium katana with genuine ebony wood saya under $160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFans of dark, powerful aesthetics — ebony black saya with sophisticated grey cord contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone searching for the best premium katana gift for a serious sword enthusiast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartial arts practitioners wanting a functional 1065 carbon steel training sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors who want rare ebony craftsmanship at an accessible price point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 103 cm (41 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length (Nagasa): 72 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length (Tsuka): 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: approx. 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.2 kg (2.5 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: 1065 Carbon Steel, oil quenched and tempered, hand-polished collector edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Grey cord wrap (tsuka-ito)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Full tang, handcrafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScabbard: Rare ebony wood saya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: LJR205022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Annihilation Katana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Rare ebony wood saya (scabbard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Cleaning cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Stand not included\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle the blade with clean, dry hands.
