This "Aoi Yoru 青い夜" katana stands out for its 1060 steel blade, forged to combine finesse and robustness. Each component is selected for its quality and authenticity, creating a sword of remarkable beauty and function.
Blade: The 71 cm (28.0 in) blade, in 1060 steel, is finished with care to reflect the expertise of a master craftsman. 1060 steel is recognised for its durability and its ability to hold an exceptional edge.
Tsuba: The guard, in high-quality copper, is finely carved, showing goldsmith-level work that echoes Japan's ancestral traditions.
Saya: The blue lacquered wood scabbard is decorated with golden motifs and elegant finishes, giving a modern, refined look that perfectly complements this katana.
Tsuka: The 27 cm (10.6 in) handle is covered in genuine leather with a traditional black and blue wrapping, giving a comfortable and durable grip. The alloy Menuki matching the Tsuba and the bamboo Mekugi ensure the solidity of the assembly.
With an overall length of 103 cm (40.6 in) and a weight of 1.4 kg with the saya, this "Aoi Yoru 青い夜" katana is an ideal choice for martial arts enthusiasts and collectors, harmoniously combining aesthetics and function.
