The Kaze to Taiyō Katana is forged with unmatched expertise by master Japanese artisans, with every detail meticulously crafted to create a truly unique piece. The blade of the Kaze to Taiyō Katana is a genuine masterpiece of steel, made from premium Damascus steel, precisely folded and clay tempered to produce an authentic hamon, the characteristic wavy pattern.
The saya, the hardwood scabbard that houses the blade, is traditionally hand-painted with great attention to detail. The handle is wrapped in genuine ray skin, offering an incomparable grip, and tightly bound with Japanese silk, blending beauty and functionality. Each element of the Kaze to Taiyō Katana is a work of art in itself, but when combined, they create a katana of rare elegance and unrivalled power.
