A fruitful season of growth and vitality, the summer season provides the inspiration for this lovely themed katana. The tsuba of the Summer Lotus Katana expresses a water garden scene with a lotus blossom and tree motif. The wonders of nature continue in the snail and frog menuki (handle ornaments), which serve as symbols of fertility and good fortune. The blackened tsuba, fuchi, tsuka-ito (handle wrap), and fuchi-kashira contrast the real white ray skin of the handle. The notched seppa (spacers), silver habaki (blade collar), and green textured and lacquered saya (scabbard) finish the design. Crafted with a 5160 high carbon steel blade, this functional katana has a 1.5 inch kissaki (point) with blade geometry conducive to rigorous cutting without chipping or deformation on soft or semi-hard targets.
