Tetsuya Katana Sword: design and finishes

The Tetsuya katana sword (鉄矢), meaning “Iron Arrow“, is characterized by its sober design combining the raw color of wood for its scabbard and a guard with modern geometric shapes. Its T10 steel blade is exceptionally sturdy and features an authentic Gunome hamon obtained by soaking the blade in cold water, partially covered with clay and charcoal. The white ray skin Tsuka combined with a black Tsuka-Ito woven in a diamond pattern, ensures a firm, elegant grip. Black dragon menuki, black Fuchi and Kashira with engraved flowers and a smooth brass Habaki complete this katana.
