Damascus steel finished with a colored pattern technique, so blue, copper and gold bands roll down the full 71 cm like a sea under evening light. Antiqued copper fittings and a plain black saya keep everything else quiet, so the blade does the talking the moment it leaves the scabbard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamascus steel with a special colored pattern technique: flowing blue, copper and gold bands along the full blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquipment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntiqued copper: round tsuba with a raised cloud motif, matching fuchi and kashira\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack gloss lacquer with black and white sageo cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTsuka\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack ito wrapped over white samegawa-style panels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104 cm (40.9 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71 cm (28.0 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 cm (10.6 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 cm (1.3 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4 kg (3.1 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-weight-bold\"\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name comes from \u003cem\u003eao\u003c\/em\u003e (blue) and \u003cem\u003enami\u003c\/em\u003e (wave). The colors are applied to the Damascus steel with a special pattern technique, and the waves vary slightly from one blade to the next. Under a lamp the blue reads deep and cold; in daylight the copper and gold tones come forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fittings were chosen to stay in the background. The round tsuba is cast in antiqued copper with a soft cloud relief, and the same darkened finish runs on the fuchi and kashira. Against the black lacquer saya, the result is a sober koshirae that frames the blade instead of competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka is wrapped in black ito over white samegawa-style panels, giving the classic diamond pattern and a firm, even grip. At 104 cm overall and 1.40 kg, it has the proportions of a full-size katana and sits naturally on a two-tier stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAonami is a display and collection piece first. Choose the edge option you prefer at checkout, and add a personal engraving on the blade if you want to turn it into a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-weight-bold\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my blade look exactly like the photos?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe palette is the same, but the colored pattern is made with a special technique on each Damascus blade, so the waves vary slightly from piece to piece. Wipe the blade with a light oil after handling and avoid abrasive cloths to keep the colors bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe katana, its saya and a protective storage bag.
