Other Information:

• Blade: The blade of the Katana Orora is forged and polished manually through a traditional method, using ultra-pure carbon steel. The galvanization process gives the blade its impressive black and red color, combining modern techniques with tradition.
• Galvanization: A chemical process that adds color to the surface layer of the blade. This technique is the only modern nature applied, while the other forging methods remain artisanal and traditional.
• Tsuba: The tsuba, located above the saya, is decorated and made by fusing metals. In addition to its decorative function, it protects the user's hand from slipping over the blade during use.
• Habaki (blade collar): A metal piece that ensures the union between the blade and the sheath, with both aesthetic and functional roles. Small scratches are normal and do not affect the quality.
• Hi: The groove on the opposite side of the edge provides audible feedback and reduces the weight of the sword, without compromising its strength and stability.
• Menuki: Decorations on the hilt, one on each side, add a touch of sophistication and aesthetic value to the sword.
