The sap cut from the lacquer tree is processed and refined into lacquer, and then the lacquer is piled on the wooden handle, which is moist and elegant, giving people a beautiful aesthetic feeling of oriental classical art, and at the same time making the handle smooth and tidy, moisture-proof and anti-corrosive.

It can not only protect the sword from corrosion, but also add a deep and gorgeous color to the sword, which is very eye-catching.
