Ceci est un veritable Gendaitō (sabre japonais moderne) forge par le maitre forgeron Ikeda Kanetsuna, basé a Seki, Prefecture de Gifu, l'une des regions les plus celebres du Japon pour la fabrication d'epees. La lame est magistralement polie et conserve un tranchant rasoir, ce qui la rend appropree pour les coupes de test (tameshigiri) et les arts martiaux traditionnels tels que iaido et battojutsu.
Le katana presente un magnifique hamon de type gunome affine (ligne de trempe), refletant le processus de traitement thermique precis du forgeron. Les proportions bien equilibrees de la lame, avec une courbure moderee de 1,2 cm, en font une piece exceptionnelle tant sur la forme que sur la fonction. Son acier presente un hada serre et regulier, ameliorant encore son attrait esthetique.
La monture (koshirae) comprend un tsuba finement travaille (tsuba ajourée en fer sukashi), un tsuba en fer ajouré qui ajoute de l'elegance tout en preservant l'integrite structurelle. La poignee est enveloppee de materiaux traditionnels, assurant une prise ferme appropriee pour un usage reel.
