The Cold Light over the Vast Ocean: Cang Yue (《滄月》)

The Cang Yue (Cold Moon over Ocean) is a masterpiece that embodies the elusive beauty described by ancient poets. It is defined by the striking contrast between the organic, flowing patterns of its steel and the brilliant, cold gleam of its silver fittings.

With a substantial weight of 3.4 lbs (1.56kg), this piece offers a commanding presence and a powerful, heavy hand-feel, distinguishing it as a serious work of art for the discerning collector.

The Ultimate Luxury Gift for Him: Refined Power

For the collector who demands the extraordinary. The Cang Yue combines the raw, organic power of Hundred-Refined Folded Steel with the sophisticated luxury of a Real Fish Skin scabbard. The cool gleam of the Hand-Carved Silver Plated fittings against the dark, textured saya speaks of refined, powerful taste. At a substantial 1.56kg, it is the definitive heirloom-grade centerpiece for an executive desk or private collection—a true symbol of status.

The Blade: Hundred-Refined Folded Steel
The blade is crafted using the traditional Hundred-Refining and Folding technique (百煉折疊). High-carbon steel is repeatedly folded and forged, creating mesmerizing, water-like grain patterns (Damascus style) on the surface. Each blade carries a unique natural texture.

The Scabbard: Genuine Fish Skin Wrap
The solid wood scabbard is meticulously wrapped in Genuine Fish Skin (鮫魚皮 - Ray Skin). This premium material is famed for its incredible durability and unique, luxurious granular texture, often reserved for the highest tier of traditional swords.

The Fittings: Hand-Carved Silver Plating
The guard and fittings are crafted from Pure Copper, featuring deep, intricate hand-carving. They are finished with exquisite Silver Plating (精雕鎏銀), providing a brilliant, lasting shine that contrasts beautifully with the dark fish skin.

⚒️ A Note on Craftsmanship: The Evolution of Design

The Master Concept (Lifestyle Images):
Our lifestyle gallery showcases the Original Master Prototype. These images capture the idealized spirit, balance, and luxurious texture combination as originally conceived by our master smiths.

The Living Blade (Actual Product):
Unlike mass-produced factory items (where every piece is identical), Shogun Blade operates in small, artisanal batches.

Hand-Forged Variation: Because each blade is folded by hand and wrapped in natural material, the Folded Steel grain (花紋) and the Fish Skin texture (魚皮紋理) are unique to each sword, like a fingerprint. No two are exactly alike.
Artisanal Optimization: The final hand-carved silver fittings undergo complex manual treatments. Our masters hand-adjust specific details to achieve the "Optimal Aesthetic Effect" unique to that specific item's proportions.

What This Means:
While the overall silhouette remains true to the photos, please expect organic variations resulting from this individual artistic tuning. Please refer to the Detailed Macro Shots for the exact specifications of the current batch you will receive.

Collector's Note: This item is strictly for display, collection, and decorative purposes (art piece).
