Hi all just wanted to share pictures of my first finished Katana sword it is fully mounted with all the work done by me. the steel fittings with gold and silver bamboo motif overlay were imported from Japan through Japan sword limited. the menuki are gold plated silver. the handle is fully wrapped with stingray and then black and gold silk cord. The saya is alder wood that has been lacquered with caped buffalo horn accoutrements and a black silk sageo with an iron tip that matches the handle fittings.
