Description
The Akanami Katana (赤波の刀), meaning “Crimson Wave Blade,” channels the spirit of fire and the strength of flowing steel. Its deep red blade and saya symbolize determination, vitality, and discipline — the essence of a true warrior’s heart.
Blade (刀身): Forged from red Damascus steel with a roasted finish, the blade reveals intricate wave patterns across its surface. Each fold captures the balance between beauty and lethal precision, reflecting the skill of traditional swordsmithing.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The antique-style copper tsuba features delicate floral and wave engravings, representing the unity of passion and grace — a mark of refined craftsmanship.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black silk ito over blood-red samegawa, the handle provides a perfect grip, its golden menuki accents catching subtle glints of light with every movement.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya, in textured crimson lacquer, mirrors the fiery tone of the blade itself. Embossed with wave patterns and tied with a black sageo cord, it completes the katana’s bold yet elegant aesthetic.
The Akanami Katana stands as a fiery tribute to the art of war and beauty — a blade forged for those who carry both strength and refinement in their spirit.
