The Tsunami Katana Replica embodies aesthetic perfection and craftsmanship. Its name reflects the dynamism and depth of the blue Japanese silk on the handle, combined with the metallic sheen of the saya. This model is distinguished by its extended O-Kissaki tip, which, combined with the precisely defined Yokote, ensures stability and effectiveness during cutting practice. Every detail, from the steel guard (tsuba) to the metal applications on the saya, has been designed for collector prestige and practical use in traditional arts study.

The blade was hand-forged in a Maru monocomposite configuration from T-10 steel. Thanks to its 1.1% carbon content and differential hardening, the blade achieves a hardness of 58 HRC. The Shinogi-Zukuri profile without bo-hi groove gives the sword higher weight and momentum, ideal for clean cuts through tatami mats. The mirror polish and sharpness are the result of meticulous hand polishing with hazuya stones.

The blade features a real Choji hamon, created using the traditional clay application method. This irregular hardening line runs along the entire length of the blade to the tip, where it smoothly transitions into the Boshi, confirming the authenticity and quality of the craftsmanship.

The O-Kissaki (6.5 cm) tip features a defined Diamond-Shaped Yokote. This structural element is crucial for the tip's integrity, helping to absorb shock and contribute to stability during demanding cutting tests.
