⚔️ Blade Craftsmanship ｜ T10 High-Carbon Steel · Full Tang · Battle-Ready

The blade is forged from premium T10 high-carbon steel — a material trusted by martial artists for its outstanding edge retention and impact resistance. It features a distinctive blued finish with a professionally polished and whitened edge. The classic shinogi-zukuri blade profile delivers sharp, three-dimensional lines and an authentic silhouette. The blade body is coated with a deep matte blued layer, offering excellent rust and corrosion resistance.

The edge is professionally sharpened and ready for serious use — suitable for martial arts training, tameshigiri (test-cutting on tatami mats), and bamboo or target practice. The blade has undergone professional heat treatment in a muffle furnace with controlled tempering, precisely balancing hardness (edge) and toughness (spine) for real-world cutting performance.

Featuring a full tang construction, the sword ensures even stress distribution, exceptional toughness, and structural stability — eliminating the risk of breakage or loosening during repetitive cutting practice. The kissaki (tip) is clean and sharply defined, delivering precise piercing capability.

🔷 Overall Profile ｜ Cool Sophistication · Striking Presence

The sword features a deep blue-black color scheme, with a metallic pearlescent blue scabbard paired with a black handle wrap and black-blue woven cord accents — understated, refined, and visually striking. The blade curvature follows traditional katana geometry, with smooth, natural lines and a firm, upright posture. Whether used in training or displayed as a complete set, it embodies the cool, commanding character of traditional Japanese martial elegance.

🎨 Scabbard Craftsmanship ｜ Pearlescent Blue Lacquer · Smooth & Refined

The scabbard features a premium metallic pearlescent blue lacquer finish, polished to a smooth surface with fine shimmering particles that catch and reflect light beautifully, creating rich, layered visual depth. The scabbard curvature precisely matches the blade, ensuring a snug, secure fit with smooth draw and sheathing (nuki and noto) — no sticking or looseness, critical for safe martial arts practice. The scabbard mouth is accented with finely crafted black-and-blue woven sageo (cord), with tight, neat knots and a tassel detail that adds elegance and texture.

🖐️ Handle & Grip ｜ Ergonomic · Precision Crafted for Training

The handle is built around a solid wood core for structural integrity, resisting warping and cracking even under heavy training use. The surface is wrapped with a simulated ray-skin (samegawa) layer for a secure, non-slip grip, over which high-density synthetic ito (handle cord) is tightly and evenly wrapped — providing excellent friction and comfort during prolonged practice sessions. The handle is secured with traditional bamboo mekugi (pegs), avoiding the harshness of metal pins and staying true to authentic sword-making methods. This construction ensures a stable, non-loosening fit that withstands repeated impact and cutting force, combining aesthetics with serious functionality.

🏵️ Tsuba (Guard) ｜ Openwork Orchid & Floral Carving · Vintage Two-Tone Finish

The entire tsuba (sword guard) is cast from high-strength alloy, paired with matching alloy seppa (spacers). Durable and impact-resistant, this guard is built to withstand the stresses of actual test-cutting practice.

Featuring a classic round mokko-style silhouette, the outer edge is wrapped with a gold-toned braided-rope border — a continuous series of refined twisted-rope textures that add a distinct layer of sophistication and visual depth.

The main body showcases an openwork relief carving of orchid flowers and intertwining branches — cast in three-dimensional sculpted relief. Orchid blossoms, buds, stems, and tendrils weave together in intricate detail. Each petal and vein is finely rendered, with open cutouts that allow light to pass through the guard, creating a striking interplay of solid and void — a hallmark of refined Japanese sukashi (pierced) tsuba artistry.

The center nakago-ana (blade slot) collar is finished in bright gold with a serrated scalloped edge, creating a bold contrast against the antique gunmetal-gray finish of the main guard body — drawing the eye directly to the heart of the guard. The entire piece is smoothly polished with rounded edges and no burrs, ensuring comfortable handling.

The guard provides ample hand protection while maintaining a refined aesthetic. When assembled with the solid copper habaki (collar) and alloy seppa, the fit is tight and secure — the blade is held firmly with no wobble or play. This tsuba is one of the sword's most distinctive visual highlights, blending antique Japanese elegance with durable, functional construction.

🏷️ Full Fittings Set ｜ Vintage Carved Details · Impeccable Finish

The complete fittings set is precisely matched, with distinct material layers and premium quality. The habaki (collar) is made of solid copper, with a clean, rich brass tone that contrasts beautifully with the alloy carved tsuba and seppa, creating a layered material aesthetic. Every detail reflects masterful craftsmanship, faithfully reproducing the fittings of an authentic traditional sword.
