OTHER INFORMATION:

Blade: Inspired from Feudal Japan and its ancient methods, the blade is forged by hand and polished through twelve different processes to guarantee its sharpening and resistance. Made of pure T10 steel.

Tsuba: Located above the Saya. It is a protection item of the Katana, which prevents the user from sliding user’s hands over the blade when handling it. Usually this component is made from a mix of metals and provides beauty to the sword through its rich and minimum details.

Habaki: Habaki is the blade necklace fixer. Consists in a wedge shaped piece of metal used to prevent the sword from falling out of its Saya. It is an aesthetic ornament and functional for ensuring the union of the saya and the sword, so it is normal if it gets scratched.

Menuki: Embellishments on the handle, located on both sides.
