Menuki and Mekugi
The copper menuki, subtly placed beneath the handle wrapping, not only enhance the decorative aspect of the Katana but also contribute to the overall balance of the weapon. Two bamboo mekugi, adhering to traditional methods, securely fasten the blade to the handle, ensuring maximum safety during use.
