The 1000-layer folded steel construction creates exceptional strength while producing the distinctive damascus pattern prized by collectors and practitioners alike. Full tang construction delivers superior balance and stability during practice or demonstration, with the blade extending completely through the genuine ray skin-wrapped handle secured by dual bamboo pegs. The brass tsuba adds both protective functionality and artistic elegance. At 40.5 inches overall length with a 28.3-inch nagasa, this battle-ready katana arrives complete with a black-finished hardwood saya for proper storage and display, making it an authentic piece of living history for martial artists and cultural connoisseurs.
