Orasaku Zukuri Honsanmai Katana

Embodying traditional craftsmanship, the ORASAKU ZUKURI HONSANMAI KATANA (S05) is an exquisite piece. With an overall length of 41 3/8 inches, it presents a 29-inch blade, hand-forged and folded from high-carbon steel, forming a mesmerizing 1024-layer pattern. The blade undergoes clay tempering and water quenching, resulting in an edge hardness of 65 HRC and a body hardness of 35 HRC, ensuring both sharpness and durability.

In the distinct Orasaku Zukuri style, this Katana emanates authenticity. The tsuba, crafted from blackened copper, creates a sophisticated aesthetic. Silver seppa and habaki are paired beautifully with the silver centipede menuki, lending a unique charm to the sword. The silver fuchi and kashira further enhance its elegance.

The Katana's saya is painted with a dark red, hand-rubbed lacquer, adding a medium gloss finish and is tastefully adorned with silver accents. The tsuka is wrapped with a maroon and white sageo, offering a contrasting yet harmonious visual, while silver elements like the kurikata, koikuchi, and sayajiri complete the design. The ORASAKU ZUKURI HONSANMAI KATANA (S05) is not just a sword; it's a testament to the art and tradition of sword-making.
