Features of the Sanbon-Sugi Shinken Katana
This katana features blackened brass fuchi, kashira and menukis and an extra slim black tsuba. The tsuka is made of hardwood, with premium grade brown cotton ito wrapped firmly around stingray skin. A copper seppa and an eye-catching brass habaki are skillfully fitted to ensure firm finishing of the koshirae.
The Saya presents true craftsmanship. Hardwood finished with multiple layers of red lacquer. It features polished black buffalo horn koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri. Highest grade thick Sageo gives the final impression for the discernible scabbard.
