Dragon King Summer lotus katana

(click on above images for larger versions)

An elegant katana with a water garden, lotus flower, and tree motif accented by snail and frog menuki, all symbols of fertility and good fortune. (just the thing for a deadly blade, right?) A blackened tsuba, fuchi, tsuka wrap and kashira contrast nicely with the (real) white same ray skin, the notched seppa, silver habaki, and the green textured lacquered saya. The blade is 5160 forged carbon steel with a prominent kissaki and blade geometry conducive to rigorous cut training. Be the water garden, be the lotus, be the cut.
