Blade (刀身): Damascus steel is renowned for its unique wave-like patterns, similar to the currents of a turbulent river. These patterns are not only visually captivating; they are the result of a forging process that increases the strength and flexibility of the blade, making it a favoured choice for durability.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted copper tsuba not only offers robust protection that keeps the fingers from slipping onto the blade, but the copper also adds natural resistance to corrosion, preserving the beauty and integrity of the guard over time. The elaborate carvings reflect the level of detail and craftsmanship devoted to this katana.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The hand-sculpted copper saya is an exceptional case for the blade. Copper, a malleable and durable metal, is worked with precision to create intricate details that catch the eye, offering protection that is as solid as it is attractive.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The copper handle stands out for its comfortable hold and sturdiness. The copper adds a balanced weight to the handle, giving the katana a pleasing feel in the hand.

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
