The Unkaï katana is an original creation by Murasame.
Its Shinogui-zukiri style blade is made of 1095/1060 Honsanmai steel.
It benefits from a clay tempering with a Choji style hamon.
The sharpening is razor sharp. The polishing and finishing with azuya stones reveals a very beautiful grain of steel very pleasant to look at.
The fittings are from Japan with a beautifully crafted forged steel tsuba, a fushi-kashira brass set. The menuki are very thin and elegant.
The tsuka is braided with a very beautiful Japanese cotton. The sageo is also from Japan. All the assembly and adjustment part is the work of the Japanese Saber Workshop, our partner.
The saya is made of wood with fully covered in stingray skin with koiguchi-kurikata and koigiri in black buffalo horn.
The Unkaï katana is a magnificent katana, elegant and efficient.
