Blade (刀身): The 1095 steel chosen for the blade is highly appreciated for its strength and cutting ability, essential attributes for serious practice. Its unique purple coloring adds an aesthetic dimension while retaining the strength and elasticity for which 1095 steel is renowned. The distinctive Hamon not only creates visual beauty but also serves as a testament to traditional selective tempering techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The pure gold-plated copper guard is not only a guarantee of elegance but also durability. Copper offers reliable protection without adding excessive weight, which is crucial to the katana's overall balance. The intricate carvings on the Tsuba are as much a tribute to craftsmanship as they are an aesthetic asset.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Ebony wood for the Saya ensures solidity and prestige. Ebony wood is renowned for its density and durability, effectively protecting the blade. The bull horn Kurigata adds a luxurious and authentic touch, underlining this Katana's status of excellence.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The authentic stingray leather surrounding the handle is known for its comfortable grip and resistance to wear. Copper Menukis and bamboo Mekugis not only guarantee the structural integrity of the Tsuka, but also enrich its look with traditional details.
