Blade (刀身): The 1095 steel blade is renowned for its carbon-rich composition, giving it exceptional hardness and long-lasting sharpness. This steel is favored for its edge retention and strength, making it a wise choice for serious beginners who want to train with a quality blade.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The solid brass guard is more than just an ornament. Brass is a sturdy, corrosion-resistant material, guaranteeing increased longevity and effective hand protection. The finely sculpted details on the brass add to the aesthetics without compromising functionality.
Sheath (Saya 鞘): Crafted from magnolia wood, the Saya is chosen for its lightness and sturdiness. Magnolia wood resists moisture well, helping to preserve the steel blade from corrosion. Its lacquered finish provides a smooth finish and extra resistance to scratches and impacts, while offering timeless elegance.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The handle's solid wood provides strength and stability for a secure grip, while shagreen (stingray skin) offers a unique texture that enhances grip. This combination of materials guarantees safe, comfortable handling, a crucial element for precise katana handling.
