Snake Katana: design and finishes
The Snake Katana offers a striking aesthetic with its omnipresent ophidians and its copper-colored saya or scabbard reminiscent of flames.
Its T10 steel blade, sharpened to perfection on demand, features a classic silver hue. The guard, beautifully sculpted in the shape of a coiled snake, is captivating with its golden highlights.
The handle or tsuka, wrapped in camel-brown Tsuka-ITO, sits on a base of sandy-yellow Pu Samegawa, offering a refined contrast. The snake motifs are repeated with subtlety, from the menuki to the details of the kashira and fuchi under the guard, creating a visual continuity throughout the sword. The brass habaki adds a further note of elegance.
The blade, 72 cm long and 3.2 cm wide, is 0.7 cm thick, giving the katana good balance. The precision of the design guarantees optimal guard inclination, ensuring a captivating visual experience and an ideal grip for cutting.
