DESCRIPTION
The Kintsurugi 金鶴刀 stands as a symbol of refinement and purity. Forged with a traditional SAN-MAI structure — a high-carbon steel core embraced by Damascus layers — it achieves both strength and flexibility. The natural saya contrasts elegantly with the radiant gold handle, while the copper tsuba adorned with crane engravings adds a touch of nobility and grace.
Every component reflects balance and discipline: the hand-tied golden sageo, the smooth wave-pattern hamon, and the polished copper fittings that shimmer subtly under light. The Kintsurugi is more than a blade — it is a tribute to peace, longevity, and the serene spirit of the warrior’s path.
