The Gin 銀 katana is both understated and highly detailed. With its black and red lacquered magnolia wood scabbard, it offers a distinctive contrast beneath the sageo, a light red in a rayskin style.
Its Damascus steel blade with hamon is entirely hand-forged by our craftsmen. This katana is well suited to display thanks to its many carefully finished details.

It stands out for its lacquered magnolia wood scabbard in black and red tones, which create a striking contrast with the bright red sageo, recalling the rayskin finish.

Gin 銀 Katana – Damascus Steel, Magnolia Saya
Reviews left by customers of our previous French store, translated from French.
David B.
The katana is truly magnificent and well balanced, the tsuba is finely chiselled, blade well polished and oiled and fixed to the tsuba, the saya is perfectly fitted. The wait is a bit long but really worth it. The track and trace works although it deserves to be more precise to avoid small scares. Customer service is responsive. A really positive experience 😊

Made exactly as ordered. Very careful delivery... the lead time was a bit long... I recommend the company Katana Japonais.

The katana fully meets my expectations, it is truly a superb object that looks even better than in the photos, I was speechless at the quality of the finishing and the work on the blade. You never tire of looking at and handling this katana. Truly excellent work, and the word is weak compared to the quality of the katana.
