Handcrafted Octagonal Shirasaya Katana - Natural Light Wood Japanese Samurai Sword

Experience a rare blend of traditional Japanese style and modern geometric design with this handcrafted Octagonal Shirasaya Katana. While standard Shirasaya mountings are completely round or oval, this piece features a meticulously carved, eight-sided octagonal geometry along the entire length of the scabbard and handle. This striking faceted profile provides an exceptionally secure grip and a unique, contemporary aesthetic.

As shown resting elegantly in il_1588xN.6848349963_c543.jpg, the sword embraces a minimalist philosophy.
