The blade is shaped from high-carbon T10 steel, showing a genuine undulating hamon that traces the boundary between the hardened edge and the resilient spine — the mark of true Japanese differential heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saya (scabbard) is finished in deep glossy black lacquer, a crisp, commanding canvas that lets every other element of the sword speak for itself. The kojiri (end cap) is cast in dark bronze with an ornate carved motif, adding a final touch of craftsmanship at the tip of the scabbard. A crisp white sageo cord is tied to the kurigata, contrasting beautifully with the black lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka (handle) is wrapped in pure white ito over genuine samegawa, with black diamond-shaped hishigami motifs running the full length of the grip — a bold monochrome pairing that gives the sword its name: 白狼, the White Wolf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining element of this katana is its extraordinary tsuba: a large circular guard sculpted in aged bronze-iron, depicting a wolf's head emerging from a ring of swirling flames. The openwork design creates dramatic shadows, and the animal's fierce expression gives the sword a living, commanding presence. This is not a decorative accessory — it is a centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShirōkami 白狼 Katana\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the spirit of the lone wolf: solitary, powerful and uncompromising.
