Basket Hilted Katana-Saber -- [SHARP]
Basket Hilted Katana-Saber -- [SHARP]
This unusual design came from the minds of my customer and illustrator Dima Derzhavin. They shared their drawings with me, and I did my best to bring them to life.
The two handed basket hilt is mounted with a Ronin Katana blade, hand forged by master smith Michael Ye in T10 steel with a Japanese finger stone polish.
The katana tang has been extended to accommodate a two-handed grip with a leather-wrapped upper half and a steel lower section 3D printed in laser-sintered stainless steel. The guard itself is mild steel with etched details on the central medallions.
