Product Details
The 28.3-inch blade is forged from T10 carbon steel and subjected to a clay tempering process that produces a genuine hamon line along the edge - organic in shape, not mechanically brushed or printed. Heat-treated to 60 HRC, the blade emerges with a polished chrome finish and a hand-finished edge that reflects both the steel's character and the smith's precision.

The 10.2-inch tsuka is wrapped in red samegawa rayskin beneath a tightly wound dual-cord ito in black and red. The two colors alternate in a classic diamond hishi-gami pattern, creating strong visual contrast and a firm, textured grip. Black menuki sit beneath the wrap at the grip points.
The tsuba is cast from alloy in a bronze-gold finish, featuring a lion totem design with flanking figures and an openwork rectangular fuchi panel. The motif carries a bold, sculptural quality that distinguishes this koshirae from standard geometric fittings.
The saya is shaped from natural hardwood and finished in a deep dark red piano lacquer - the crackle-textured surface visible in the image creates depth and visual richness. A braided black-and-red sageo is knotted in an elaborate display wrap around the kurigata, adding an extra decorative layer consistent with the overall color palette.
