His stylised face is also the emblem of KatanaSwordArt, making this katana a direct expression of the KSA brand identity. As part of the KSA Signature Series, Guan Yu represents the martial spirit and steadfast character at the heart of the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is hand-forged from T10 high-carbon steel and traditionally clay tempered to produce a genuine Choji Hamon through differential hardening. Finished with Sashikomi polish, the blade presents a refined traditional appearance while allowing the natural hamon to remain clearly visible. Its full-tang construction and authentic kissaki geometry provide both structural reliability and a traditional sword profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe koshirae is centred around an iron openwork tsuba featuring the stylised face of Guan Yu, directly reflecting the KatanaSwordArt emblem. It is paired with darkened cupronickel Kyō Ajiro fuchi-kashira, while the tsuka is tightly wrapped in black cotton ito over genuine white samegawa, creating a strong and disciplined monochrome contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Black Ishime saya and matching black sageo complete the mounting, giving the sword a restrained and powerful appearance. The combination of black, white, and darkened metal reinforces the themes of loyalty, courage, and martial strength that define both Guan Yu and the KSA Signature Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwords holder or stand sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSword Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"579\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" width=\"242\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHand-forged Maru (mono-steel), Polished Edge, Genuine rayskin, Authentic Kissaki Structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 101 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Length (Nagasa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 71 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eApprox. 25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Width at Habaki\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e3.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT10 High Carbon \u003c\/span\u003eSteel (Performance Grade)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eHeat Treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClay-Tempered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eBlade Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eCurved, single-edged blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\"\u003eHi (Groove)  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo groove\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eSharpness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eFully sharpened\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eTang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eFull Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eTsuka (Handle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHardwood, genuine rayskin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eSaya (Scabbard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eHardwood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;\" class=\"xl66\" height=\"20\"\u003eFittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 324.451px;\" width=\"337\" class=\"xl65\"\u003eIron \u0026amp;
