Discover the artistry of the Ab Sword Forge with this Shirasaya-style katana – a masterpiece handcrafted with age-old techniques. Its Damascus steel blade, expertly folded, unveils intricate layers that not only add to its strength but also to its visual allure. The unique blue hue on the blade results from an advanced electroplating process, enhancing its elegance and offering rust resistance.
The blade features a prominent bo hi (groove) on each side, providing a lighter feel and satisfying sound with each swing, as well as fine-tuning the blade’s balance for superior handling. Eschewing the traditional tsuba, this sword boasts a wooden tsuka (handle), with a secure tang held by dual bamboo mekugi (pins). It is complemented by a matching hard wood blue saya (scabbard).
This Japanese Katana Samurai Shirasaya with its distinctive blue blade is more than just a weapon; it’s a work of art that’s fully disassemblable for aficionados who appreciate the craftsmanship of a true katana.
