Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is a work of art in its own right, crafted from copper and sculpted brass. The intricate gold dragon detailing brings a mythical and symbolic dimension to the piece, making the scabbard as visually impressive as it is functional. Designed to carefully protect the blade, it also offers remarkable durability due to the premium materials used in its construction.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic ray skin (galuchat), the tsuka provides a firm and comfortable grip. Known for its durability and granular texture, galuchat offers superior grip when handling the Katana.
