The Katana Ōku オーク blends sobriety and tradition, a tribute to the understated elegance of the Edo period.
Blade (刀身): Forged in 608 steel, this grey blade offers adequate strength and makes an accessible first display piece. This steel is chosen for its ability to hold a respectable edge while offering a flexibility that forgives the mistakes of learning.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely carved brass Tsuba is not merely decorative. Brass is valued for its corrosion resistance and its weight, which contributes to the balance of the katana, a crucial aspect of handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wood scabbard protects the blade and adds an aesthetic touch with its smooth, glossy finish. The wood, hard-wearing and traditional, is a reliable choice for everyday protection of the blade.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The solid wood of the handle ensures durability and stability, while the Galuchat leather offers a comfortable and secure grip. Galuchat is valued for its distinct texture, which increases grip.
The Katana Ōku オーク is perfect for those starting out on the path of the sword, or who wish to embellish their interior with a piece inspired by Japanese history.

Very happy to have received this beautiful piece, delivery was on time, the sword is very sharp and cuts perfectly. The saya is darker than in the photos but honestly I prefer it, the blade is a beauty, very happy. I was a bit uncertain because I didn't know the brand, and some people say it's a scam, luckily I didn't listen to them. Customer service is great and replies quickly, and my order was ready very quickly, so satisfi...
