Akarui Katana Sword: design and finishes

This handcrafted katana sword made by our skilled swordsmiths, features a silver-colored full tang T10 steel blade. The raw wood scabbard adds a touch of authenticity. The thick black and white Sageo contrasts elegantly with the light color of the wood. The sandy-orange Tsuka-ITO is braided in a diamond pattern for optimum grip. The menuki represents black dragons, adding a mythical dimension to this sword. The rounded, black-alloy Tsuba is adorned with delicate carved flowers. The Fuchi and Kashira, also in black alloy with carved floral motifs, harmoniously complete the set. Finally, the smooth brass Habaki provides a neat transition between the blade and handle.
