Its name, which means \"flower viewing\", the centuries-old Japanese tradition of admiring cherry blossoms in spring, is found in a snow-white saya scattered with pink sakura petals that seem to drift, paired with a pink-wrapped tsuka and an unsharpened T10 steel blade. This is a sword that carries the quiet beauty of a spring afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT10 high-carbon steel — mirror polished for a clear, crisp edge that keeps its bite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIron fittings (painted) — tsuba and accents with a hand-finished sakura motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103 cm (40.6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71 cm (28.0 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 cm (10.6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 cm (1.26 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e花見 — Katana Hanami\u003c\/strong\u003e takes its name from the famous Japanese custom of \u003cem\u003ehanami\u003c\/em\u003e, gathering beneath cherry trees to watch the blossoms fall. A single glance at the saya explains the name: an immaculate snow-white lacquer is dusted with soft pink sakura petals that seem to drift across the scabbard, as if carried by a spring breeze. No two scabbards fall in exactly the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged in high-carbon T10 steel, then mirror polished to a clear, even finish. It combines precision and resilience, the qualities for which T10 is prized: an edge that bites cleanly and a spine that absorbs shocks. Behind its delicate appearance lies a blade made to cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka is wrapped in soft pink ito over genuine white ray skin (samegawa), completed by a matching sageo, while the iron fittings carry the sakura motif from the guard to the pommel. The result is a light, elegant koshirae with an unmistakably feminine spirit, without giving up the balance of a true katana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull tang and made to the same demanding standards as every blade in this range, the \u003cstrong\u003e花見 — Katana Hanami\u003c\/strong\u003e is first and foremost a collector's piece, supplied unsharpened for display.
