Description
Collectable Katana Tiger Soul | Hand-Forged Sanmai Steel Clay Tempered Blade | Polished Edge | Red Lacquer Saya | Genuine Rayskin
This Tiger Soul katana boasts a Sanmai-constructed blade, featuring a hardened core enveloped by softer outer layers for both strength and resilience. A graceful Notare-style hamon runs along the edge, adding elegant visual depth. The red lacquered saya glimmers subtly, enhanced by buffalo horn fittings at the koiguchi, kurigata, and kojiri. A brown cotton sageo is tied in a classic, refined style. The tsuka is wrapped in brown cotton ito over pristine white samegawa in a striking diamond pattern, perfectly aligned with the matching white copper menuki. The fuchi and kashira are finely crafted brass with a rich blackened patina, while the round brass tsuba showcases an intricate tiger and rabbit motif, blending artistry with tradition.
