Stone Grain Shirasaya Katana – Oil Quench Maru-Gitae Damascus Blade

Product Introduction

The Stone Grain Shirasaya Katana is ultra-minimalist unadorned plain samurai sword, fully differentiated from painted, carved and colored lacquer katana & wakizashi series. It abandons all decorative metal relief and colored artwork, focusing on original natural rosewood stone grain texture, targeting quiet zen study decor, minimalist room display and low-key pure oriental collection. The blade adopts maru-gitae multi-layer folded damascus steel with standard oil quenching heat treatment, plain shinogi-zukuri shape without blood groove, fake yokote line, taganeha multi-stage hand polishing and factory light sharp edge, only suitable for slow static drawing appreciation; heavy cutting and violent friction are strictly prohibited to protect delicate folded grain.

This authentic shirasaya design removes independent tsuba hand guard for ultra-simple silhouette. The whole tsuka grip and saya scabbard are integrated solid rosewood retaining natural stone grain texture, matched octagonal cow horn kashira & koiguchi & kojiri end fittings, single solid copper habaki blade collar, dual bamboo mekugi non-detachable full tang structure without disassembly function. A lightweight fabric katana storage bag is provided as free gift; simple text blade engraving upgrade service available on request.
