John Lee Shirasaya Katana hell

John Lee Shirasaya Katana hell with blade in Shinogi Zukuri style with fuller (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel.

A Shirasaya Katana is a special type of sword traditionally used in Japan. The term Shirasaya refers to a specific sword mounting that was previously used for the gentle storage of the blade. Especially in times of peace, the blades were optimally protected in this manner. It consists of a simple, uncoated wooden scabbard (Saya) and a wooden handle (Tsuka), which serve to store and protect the sword without damaging it. Shirasaya are often used for katanas that are not actively used, but rather as collector's items or for storing valuable blades. This type of storage allows the blade to be protected from environmental influences while simultaneously providing an aesthetic and simple presentation.
