The Sabaku 砂漠 Katana is a piece designed not only for its looks but also for function, inspired by the vastness and resilience of the desert.

Blade (刀身): The manganese steel used in the blade offers exceptional wear resistance and superior durability, qualities needed in a blade that can be used for practice as well as for display. The distinctive brown tone of the blade evokes the warmth of the desert.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved iron guard combines strength and design, iron being chosen for its robustness and longevity. The intricate patterns engraved on the tsuba reflect the complexity of the sand dunes, adding an artistic dimension and a strong character to the katana.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Ebony is known for its density and durability, making the saya a dependable protection for the blade. The buffalo-horn kurigata with its cord adds not only to the beauty of the scabbard but also to its strength and grip.

Handle (Tsuka 柄): The genuine ray skin leather offers a distinctive texture and a secure grip. This traditional material is highly valued for its water resistance and durability, making the tsuka a high-quality component that will stand the test of time and repeated use.

The Sabaku 砂漠 Katana embodies the quiet strength and the beauty of the desert expanses, offering practitioners and collectors an exceptional piece that exceeds expectations both visually and in practice.

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.
