Gaiyo 概要 Katana — Carved Damascus Steel, Orange Sageo

The katana is magnificent, the details, the texture, the guard patterns, it's all there. However, I am a little disappointed with the sharpness of the blade, which tends to tear rather than cut... It's ideal as a decorative object that I'm going to put up in my bedroom right away 😉
