Description
Performance Katana Crimson Shadow with Maru Blade, Polished Edge with Decorative Hamon, Speckled Red Saya and Genuine Rayskin
The Crimson Shadow is a performance-grade katana forged in Maru construction from modern steel, delivering outstanding durability and responsive handling. Designed for tameshigiri (test cutting) and traditional martial arts practice, it embodies a perfect balance of understated elegance and practical strength.
The blade features a smooth, polished edge that highlights its clean geometry and precise cutting performance. A single bo-hi reduces weight and enhances balance, producing a crisp tachikaze (audible feedback) with each swing. The iron tsuba displays a minimalist openwork design, lending an air of quiet strength and refined simplicity. A matching alloy kashira complements the fittings, completing the koshirae with harmonious subtlety.
The saya is adorned with a deep crimson lacquer speckled with black, evoking the texture of embers glowing in shadow. Paired with brown sageo and ito, tightly wrapped over genuine rayskin, it provides both aesthetic harmony and a secure, reliable grip. A brass kojiri finishes the fittings, adding a warm metallic accent.
An exceptional choice for practitioners and collectors alike, the Crimson Shadow merges modern craftsmanship with the timeless spirit of Japanese sword artistry.
