Blade (刀身): Forged in T10 steel, known for its high strength and its ability to hold an exceptional edge, this grey blade has the shine of a mirror. Its visible, elegant hamon reflects sophisticated hardening techniques, giving a balance of flexibility and hardness.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely carved iron guard is a small masterpiece, evoking traditional Japanese motifs that showcase delicate craftsmanship and understated aesthetics. It protects the hand and adds a symbolic, decorative dimension.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): In solid wood covered in leather, the saya celebrates quiet elegance and harmony with nature. The leather texture gives a secure grip and added resistance to the elements, while its sober colour recalls the calming shades of the Arashiyama forest.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Made of sturdy magnolia wood and covered in ray-skin leather, the handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip. Ray skin, known for its durability and distinctive appearance, gives the handle a unique texture that improves grip and handling.
