Golden Blade Katana Sword: design and finishes

The name Golden Blade evokes the preciousness and noble brilliance of this exceptional katana. In Japanese culture, gold symbolizes spiritual purity and artisanal perfection, qualities that this katana perfectly embodies through its refined details.

Its manganese steel blade has a golden color that subtly captures the light and reveals the meticulous workmanship of the forge. The round copper tsuba features an artistic relief depicting a lobster, a symbol of longevity in Japanese tradition, while the kozuka-hitsu attests to the functional authenticity of this piece. The handle harmoniously combines white stingray skin and off-white tsuka-ito braiding, creating an elegant contrast with the silver leaf-shaped menuki. The black and gold fuchi and kashira are adorned with delicate floral motifs that perfectly match the lacquered wooden scabbard. The latter features shades of gray and black evoking flowers or rain, creating a typically Japanese poetic atmosphere, complemented by a traditional black and white sageo.
