Bamboo Forest Katana – T10 Choji Hamon Green Bamboo Relief Lacquer Saya Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Bamboo Forest Katana is literati garden plant themed full-size samurai sword, fully differentiated from mini shadow wakizashi, matte yakuza ebony sword, silver wind minimalist blade and autumn maple seasonal sword series. Centered on layered bamboo forest relief carving, matched fresh grass green lacquer sheath, it targets traditional literati collectors, tea room quiet decor and elegant oriental cultural gifts.
The blade adopts premium T10 high carbon steel with traditional Tsuchioki clay differential tempering craft, forming neat choji clove continuous wave hamon, standard shinogi-zukuri profile without blood groove, clear embossed yokote reinforcement line, notarekomi kissaki tip, multi-stage taganeha mirror polishing and factory light sharp edge. Delicate layered temper grain is easy to scratch; only slow static drawing appreciation is allowed, heavy cutting and violent friction are strictly prohibited.
The complete mounting hardware is bronze copper alloy with three-dimensional layered bamboo forest relief carving, including hollow bamboo stalk dual-sided tsuba, bamboo patterned fuchi & kashira, tiny bamboo shoot mini menuki ornaments and solid raw copper habaki/seppa washers. The oval imogata grip uses genuine natural ray skin inner lining wrapped with thick dark green moro-hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood coated fresh grass green high-gloss lacquer with hand embossed bamboo forest landscape texture, matched green-gold mixed braided cotton sage cord. Equipped with two natural bamboo mekugi pegs to form fully removable full tang, convenient for regular blade anti-rust maintenance. A lightweight fabric katana storage bag is provided as free gift; custom bamboo forest blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
