This Copper Lion Katana feels warmer because of the brown lacquer saya, while the copper lion fittings give the mounting a stronger close-up accent. The 1045 carbon steel blade and clay-tempered process are listed separately, and the no-bo-hi blade side gives the blade a cleaner, more solid look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What stands out first on this Copper Lion Katana?
The brown lacquer saya sets a warmer first impression, then the copper lion fittings become the main close-up detail.
Does this model have a bo-hi or fuller?
No. This version is listed without a bo-hi / fuller, so the blade side looks cleaner and more solid.
Is this 1045 carbon steel?
Yes. The steel grade is 1045 carbon steel, with clay tempering listed separately as the process layer.
How does it compare with a bo-hi Katana?
A bo-hi Katana shows a visible blade groove. This no-bo-hi version has a smoother blade side.
How should I care for the carbon steel blade?
Keep the blade dry after handling and apply a light coat of suitable blade oil before storage.
