Startled‑Salamander‑Katana – 1060‑High‑Manganese‑Water‑Quenched Salamander‑Amphibian‑Beast‑Motif Beginner‑Practice Japanese Katana Sword
Product Introduction
The Startled‑Salamander‑Katana is vibrant startled‑salamander amphibian‑beast‑motif themed beginner‑practice samurai katana, fully differentiated from fiery‑combat‑aesthetic 1060 battle‑frenzy katana, damascus‑steel origami‑paper‑crane wish‑blessing‑art katana, spartan‑buke‑traditional‑art katana and other combat‑aesthetic, blessing‑symbol‑art, minimalist‑buke‑style decorative swords. This budget‑beginner‑iaido‑practice‑oriented collectible adopts premium 1060 high‑manganese steel with traditional water‑quenching heat‑treatment delivering smooth plain‑surface polished clean blade finish. It is equipped with gorgeous open‑work 3D‑sculpted salamander‑amphibian‑beast‑relief gilded‑alloy mounting hardware, black‑red mixed moro‑hineri cotton ito tsuka with red faux ray‑fish samekawa inner lining, and solid hardwood finished in eye‑catching bright‑red lacquer decorated with shimmering golden‑speck scattered‑gold maki‑e graphic artwork, paired with thick black‑red mixed‑braided sageo cord. Target audiences include budget‑beginner‑iaido‑practice nihonto collectors, amphibian‑salamander‑beast‑motif hobby enthusiasts, vibrant scarlet‑toned home‑interior decor buyers and cost‑effective entry‑level samurai‑katana‑theme decorative‑gift buyers.
The blade adopts premium 1060 high‑manganese steel with traditional water‑quenching heat‑treatment, generating smooth plain‑surface mirror‑polished clean blade finish without prominent handmade hamon line. Classic katana‑style shinogi‑zukuri blade geometry without blood‑groove hi, subtle embossed yokote dividing‑line, functional katana‑style kissaki tip and factory light‑sharp finish. Plain polished blade and bright‑red golden‑speck scattered‑gold maki‑e lacquer saya scratch easily; only static amphibian‑beast‑theme display, photo‑shooting and light‑iaido beginner practice are allowed. Heavy chopping and violent impact must be strictly prohibited to preserve vibrant entry‑level themed collectible surface condition.
Complete mounting‑hardware set uses gorgeous open‑work 3D‑sculpted salamander‑amphibian‑beast‑relief gilded‑alloy fittings, round startled‑salamander‑beast‑motif carved tsuba, matching‑pattern fuchi & kashira, tiny salamander‑shape gilded‑alloy menuki ornaments and solid‑brass habaki plus gilded‑alloy seppa washers. Standard katana‑length tsuka grip uses red faux artificial ray‑fish samekawa inner lining wrapped with thick black‑red mixed moro‑hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood finished in eye‑catching bright‑red lacquer with shimmering golden‑speck scattered‑gold maki‑e graphic artwork, fitted with gilded‑alloy koiguchi, kurikata and kojiri hardware; matched thick black‑red mixed‑braided sageo cord with gilded‑alloy clasp. Two natural bamboo mekugi pegs build fully‑removable full‑tang construction for blade inspection and regular anti‑rust maintenance. Startled‑salamander‑amphibian‑beast‑theme fabric storage bag, standard katana wooden display stand and sword‑maintenance‑kit are included as full free‑gift set; custom salamander‑beast‑emblem blade‑engraving upgrade available for extra charge.
