Features
Folded Steel Construction & Hand Polishing
The blade is produced using a rigorous traditional folding process, creating a blade with exceptional purity and a mesmerizing, layered visual pattern (hada). Every blade is subjected to meticulous hand-polishing to fully reveal the grain and ensure a razor-sharp, fully functional edge.
Gold-Plated Lotus Tsuba
Elevating this katana to a true collector's piece is its exquisite hand guard. The Tsuba is crafted in the shape of a lotus and elegantly gold-plated. The lotus motif adds a layer of spiritual depth, representing purity and enlightenment.
Hamon (Differential Hardening)
This blade features a real, naturally developed Hamon. Through the process of clay tempering, the edge is cooled rapidly to achieve extreme hardness, while the spine cools slower to retain flexibility. This results in a distinctive, undulating temper line.
Full Tang Construction & Premium Fittings
The tang extends completely through the handle for authentic balance and structural safety. It is complemented by upgraded traditional-style fittings, including genuine rayskin (samegawa), premium silk wrap, and a hand-finished Saya.
