Description
Performance Katana Midnight Tide with Maru Blade, Polished Edge with Decorative Hamon, Blue Lacquer Saya and Genuine Rayskin
The Midnight Tide is a performance-grade katana forged in Maru construction from modern steel, offering exceptional durability and responsive handling. Designed for tameshigiri (test cutting) and traditional martial arts practice, it represents a refined harmony of strength, balance, and elegance.
The blade is polished to a mirror-like finish, displaying a graceful midare-style hamon that emphasizes its sharp geometry and cutting precision. A single bo-hi reduces the overall weight, enhancing control and producing a crisp tachikaze (audible feedback) with every swing. The iron tsuba features a minimalist openwork design, symbolizing simplicity and resilience. Matching fittings, including the fuchi and kashira, add cohesion to the overall aesthetic.
The saya is finished in a lustrous deep-blue lacquer with a subtle metallic sheen, contrasted by a black sageo. The tsuka is tightly wrapped in black ito over genuine white rayskin, ensuring a secure grip and timeless appeal rooted in tradition.
An outstanding choice for practitioners and collectors alike, this katana seamlessly combines modern craftsmanship with the enduring artistry of the warrior’s blade.
