Prawn Katana – T10 Choji Hamon Golden Prawn Hollow Tsuba Blue Gold Speckle Saya Samurai Sword
Product Introduction
The Prawn Katana is unique marine aquatic themed full-size samurai sword, fully differentiated from zodiac monkey, bamboo literati, peach blossom feminine and cool breeze minimalist sword series. Taking golden prawn/shrimp as core decorative element, it targets marine culture collectors, ocean themed study decor and special oriental seafood art 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. This blade is only suitable for slow static drawing appreciation; heavy cutting and violent friction will scratch delicate temper grain and are strictly prohibited.
The complete mounting hardware is high-gloss golden alloy with three-dimensional hollow prawn relief carving, including circular hollow prawn tsuba, prawn patterned fuchi & kashira, tiny shrimp menuki ornaments and solid raw copper habaki/seppa washers. The oval imogata grip uses genuine natural white dotted ray skin inner lining wrapped with thick brown moro-hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood coated special blue base gold speckle baking lacquer, matched blue-brown mixed braided cotton sage binding cord. Equipped with two natural bamboo mekugi pegs to form fully removable full tang, convenient for regular blade anti-rust maintenance. A dedicated katana fabric storage bag is provided as free gift; custom prawn blade engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
