Features of the Nami Katana
The Nami Katana is an exceptional piece that seamlessly blends power and elegance, drawing inspiration from the symbolism of waves in Japanese culture, which represent both strength and fluidity. Meticulously crafted, this Katana embodies both artistic beauty and martial effectiveness.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the Nami Katana’s blade is renowned for its durability and ability to maintain an exceptional edge. The high-carbon T10 steel provides outstanding strength, allowing the blade to withstand impacts without cracking. The visible hamon, achieved through differential hardening, is more than just an aesthetic detail. It highlights the blade’s resilience, capable of absorbing shocks while maintaining flexibility and sharpness—much like waves crashing against rocks, never breaking but always flowing.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba showcases the mastery of Japanese craftsmanship. Copper, known for its malleability, allows for intricate engraving, with motifs that evoke the fluidity of waves. Over time, the copper develops a natural patina, adding authenticity and a unique character to the Katana. In addition to providing effective hand protection, the tsuba enhances the sword’s artistic appeal.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya features a stunning dragon motif, a symbol of power and protection in Japanese culture. Beyond its aesthetic value, the lacquer protects the wood from moisture, preserving the blade from external elements. The cotton sageo, carefully tied, adds to the overall elegance while providing security and ease of transportation.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The handle, wrapped in genuine white ray skin (galuchat), offers an exceptionally secure grip. The naturally non-slip texture of galuchat ensures perfect control of the blade, even during prolonged use. Subtly inlaid copper menuki add a decorative touch while enhancing grip, providing both comfort and safety during use.
The Nami Katana is the perfect fusion of art and functionality. Its robust T10 steel blade, finely sculpted details, and nature-inspired design make it a formidable yet visually captivating sword. Whether you are a martial artist or a collector, this Katana embodies the strength of waves and the timeless elegance of Japanese craftsmanship, honouring the heritage of the samurai.
