Features of the Oni Katana
The Oni Katana is a true masterpiece, imbued with the strength and determination of the warrior, symbolising the power and indomitable spirit of the samurai. This majestic Katana perfectly balances tradition and performance, designed for Japanese weapon enthusiasts seeking a piece that is both elegant and functional.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Oni Katana is distinguished by its unique spiral patterns, reminiscent of the tranquil ripples on still water. This intricate design, created by layering the steel, gives the blade exceptional strength while capturing light to reveal subtle grey highlights. These textures and shades evoke inner strength, tenacity, and mastery, while paying homage to the ancient art of sword forging.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The zinc alloy tsuba is finely adorned with motifs inspired by the legendary tales of the samurai. Designed for both protection and beauty, the guard serves not only as a separator between the blade and handle, but as a work of art that tells a story. Each detail of the carving enhances the noble and majestic appearance of the Katana, while providing optimal safety during handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from lightweight lacquered wood, the saya is designed to protect the blade while offering a refined aesthetic. Its smooth and glossy surface reflects the attention to detail in the finishing process, creating a harmonious and elegant overall appearance. The scabbard not only serves a functional purpose but also elevates the sword with a touch of sophistication, making the Oni Katana a prized collector’s item.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in synthetic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka ensures a comfortable and secure grip. Its unique texture, combined with traditional braiding, offers both superior adhesion and a visually captivating design. This blend of modern materials and traditional techniques ensures smooth handling, while reinforcing the Katana’s durability and strength.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixing (Mekugi)
The finely sculpted zinc alloy menuki add an additional artistic touch to the overall design. The two bamboo mekugi ensure a secure and durable attachment of the blade to the handle, guaranteeing perfect stability during use.
The Oni Katana is far more than a simple collector’s item—it is an extension of the warrior’s soul, a tangible representation of inner strength and devotion to Japan’s ancestral traditions. Whether for practice or as a valuable addition to a collection, this Katana embodies power, elegance, and mastery, making it an essential piece for lovers of Japanese swords.
