Features

100-Refined Twisted Dense Ladder Pattern Damascus Steel
The blade is forged by repeatedly folding, forge-welding, and precision-twisting high-carbon steel billets to produce a dense, finely grouped "ladder pattern" (Tieti Wen). This demanding metallurgical technique creates distinct, ladder-like cross-rungs across the blade, maximizing visual depth and shock resilience.

Stone Hand-Polished Blade Geometry
Undergoing traditional abrasive waterstone hand polishing, the blade exhibits crisp geometric bevels, a defined kissaki tip, and vivid contrast between alternating steel layers.

Embossed Copper Skin Gold & Silver Gilt Scabbard
The scabbard (Saya) is sculpted from seasoned solid hardwood and completely encased in an embossed copper skin lavishly electroplated in antique gold and silver. This dual-layer construction provides superior structural strength, regal heft, and an imperial visual identity.

Hand-Carved Pure Solid Copper Tiger Mountings
The Tsuba, collar, pommel, and Ashi hangers are sculpted from solid pure copper and carved with dynamic roaring tiger motifs, treated with antique dual-tone gold and silver plating to deliver an unmistakable imperial aesthetic.

Full Tang Balanced Construction
The tang extends through the entire 26cm handle in the classical manner, fastened securely to ensure authentic weight distribution, balance, and lifelong structural integrity.
