Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the Katana Sabaku blade is renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for regular practice or as a treasured addition to a collection. Its unique brown hue, reminiscent of the sweltering heat of the desert, reflects the silent and relentless strength of vast arid expanses.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted iron tsuba perfectly balances strength with artistry. Intricate engravings, inspired by the rippling patterns of sand dunes, add a refined artistic touch while symbolising the complex beauty of desert landscapes. Iron, chosen for its longevity and toughness, ensures reliable protection and durability during every use, making the tsuba as functional as it is decorative.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is crafted from dense ebony wood, offering solid and reliable protection for the blade. Known for its strength and natural elegance, the ebony adds a rich visual depth to the scabbard, while the bull horn kurigata and carefully braided cord enhance the saya’s strength and provide an optimal grip. This balance between form and function makes the scabbard a key component, both refined and practical.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka offers a distinct non-slip texture, ensuring precise and secure handling. Shagreen, famed for its water resistance and durability, not only provides a firm grip but also guarantees long-lasting performance even with frequent use. This traditional material, prized for its resilience, elevates the noble and refined character of the weapon, making it as practical as it is elegant.
The Katana Sabaku 砂漠 embodies the perfect balance between the silent power and natural beauty of the desert. Built to withstand the test of time, this Katana is both functional and visually striking, offering an unparalleled experience to both practitioners and collectors.
