Shadow Dancer Pink/Purple Katana 1095 Carbon Steel Clay Tempered

Part of Shadow Dancer's Nova series, this katana is a highly exquisite and sophisticated piece that combines both traditional and modern designs, great for both practitioners and collectors.

Forged from 1095 carbon steel, the shinogi zukuri blade (ridge line runs along the blade’s length on both sides) is differentially hardened, producing a gunome (wave-like) hamon that complements the sword’s theme of beauty and resilience. 

There is much symbolism in this katana’s unique fittings that feature a variety of detailed and elaborate life-like flowers, a reminder of values such as bravery, strength, purity, honor, and wisdom. 

True to traditional design, one mekugi secures the blade to the wooden hilt covered in white samegawa and wrapped tightly in purple rayon tsuka ito for a durable and comfortable grip. Complementing the overall design is a glossy lacquered soft pink scabbard with a matching sageo.
