Goldleaf Ember Katana
Goldleaf Ember Katana
The Goldleaf Ember Katana combines a red lacquered saya with gilded decorative fittings and a blue-finished patterned blade. The warm mount and cool blade create the product’s main tension without requiring a separate narrative motif.
The blade is specified with a hamon and 60 HRC. Those details sit behind the more immediate contrast between the red saya, gilded fittings, and blue-finished steel.
