Kurotsuki Katana Sword: design and finishes
The Kurotsuki, or “Black Moon“, katana sword is forged with a Damascus steel blade featuring three distinctive shades along its mune, in the blade’s center, and on its crest, offering a fascinating set of colors. The katana emphasizes the contrast between the black and the gilded brass of its guard, Habaki and Kashira.
The rounded brass guard features an engraved gilded dragon with black shadows. The real white ray skin handle is wrapped in a black Tsuka-Ito braided into a diamond shape, for a perfect grip. The wooden scabbard is covered in black synthetic leather imitating stingray skin, around which black Sageo is tied. The brass finish, dragon-shaped Menuki and Habaki complete the contrast of this Black Moon katana.
