Plum Blossom Katana | Water Quenched Folded Pattern Steel Shinogizuki Plum Bird Copper Fittings Fake Ray Solid Wood Saya Disassemblable Katana
Product Introduction
The Plum Blossom Katana is affordable entry-level floral themed samurai sword priced at $319.99, suitable for beginner iaido practitioners, desktop anime display and low-budget oriental decorative gifts. The blade adopts traditional hand folded pattern steel with water quenching heat treatment, classic shinogizuki blade profile, no blood groove maru solid structure, full hand surface polishing and factory pre-sharpened functional edge for light drawing form practice only, not for heavy thick bamboo cutting.
The complete set of mounting hardware is solid copper with relief carving of plum blossom and sparrow bird pattern, including tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki, seppa and habaki. The oval imogata tsuka uses affordable artificial imitation ray skin as inner lining wrapped with black diamond woven moro-hineri cotton silk, basic anti-slip holding experience for daily short training. The scabbard is solid wood base with black lacquer finish, hand-painted orange red plum blossom branch artwork, matched thick black coarse cotton sage binding cord. This katana adopts fully disassemblable full tang fixed by two bamboo mekugi pegs, easy to separate for regular blade anti-rust oil maintenance. A dedicated katana carton storage box is provided as free gift accessory; extra $30 charge for personalized blade pattern & text carving upgrade.
