This Dragonfly Katana keeps the overall profile darker with a black lacquer saya, so the dragonfly fitting detail becomes the close-up point. The 1045 carbon steel blade, clay-tempered process, and bo-hi / fuller give the page clear material and blade layers without turning it into a performance claim.
