Feature Description
Precision-Cast Brass Fittings Produced using steel-mold die casting for exceptional strength, dimensional accuracy, and finely defined details.
Genuine Soft-Cured Ray Skin Grip Unlike the hard lacquered ray skin commonly found on reproduction swords, the softened ray skin used here remains slightly compliant to the touch, providing exceptional comfort, security, and control during extended handling.
Reinforced Stainless Steel Scabbard Features a stainless steel outer shell over 1 mm thick, offering exceptional resistance to dents, deformation, and crushing. A fitted wooden core ensures proper blade retention and smooth draw.
Hand-Forged Blade Performance The forged blade feels lively and responsive in motion, producing a distinct cutting whistle while delivering clear yet comfortable edge-alignment feedback through the grip. Despite its broad and robust profile, handling remains agile and controlled.
Reliable Mechanical Construction A solid brass mekugi passes through the tang and pommel assembly, creating a secure mechanical lock without the use of screws, welding, or other potentially weak fastening methods.
Natural Materials Throughout No paint, plating, or artificial coatings are used. Every visible component retains its natural finish, allowing the materials to age gracefully without concerns over peeling paint, worn coatings, or surface deterioration over time.
