Sabaku no ha Katana Sword: design and finishes
The Sabaku no ha katana sword features a full tang T10 steel blade, available sharpened or unsharpened, with a brilliant silver hue, guaranteeing unrivaled strength and durability. The imitation black stingray skin handle is beautifully wrapped with sandy-orange Tsuka-Ito woven into a diamond pattern, recalling the warm colors of the desert. The rounded cruciform guard, in black and gold colors, is adorned with a coiled gilded dragon, lending a majestic allure to the sword. The pale raw wood scabbard and a sandy orange Sageo evoke the dunes and arid landscape. Details include a gilded dragon-shaped menuki, a gilded flower-shaped Fuchi, a silver-alloy Kashira, and a smooth brass Habaki. Each element of the Sabaku no ha evokes the austere beauty of desert expanses, hence its name Blade of the Desert, Sabaku no ha (砂漠の刃) in Japanese.
