Features of the Yūkan’na Katana
The Yūkan’na Katana is an exceptional masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, designed for those seeking a flawless, high-quality sword. Representing the pinnacle of Japanese forging tradition, this Katana is crafted for discerning collectors and practitioners who are in search of a truly masterful blade.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged using the ancient Kobuse technique, the blade of the Yūkan’na Katana combines T10 steel with a Damascus hamon created through clay tempering, delivering unparalleled resilience and beauty. T10 steel, renowned for its perfect balance of hardness and flexibility, provides outstanding strength, while the damascus patterns form a distinctive hamon, the result of selective tempering. This enhances the blade’s cutting performance and ensures optimal durability. The blade’s cross-hatched edge delivers precise cuts, meeting the high expectations of even the most skilled masters.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The pure copper tsuba, adorned with gold and silver detailing, exudes both nobility and strength. This material offers exceptional durability while providing reliable hand protection during use. The gold and silver accents add a layer of refinement, enhancing the sword’s prestigious appearance and reinforcing its status as a work of art.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and covered in luxurious green ray skin (galuchat), provides both strength and elegance. This unique finish evokes the depth and richness of ancient forests while ensuring optimal protection for the blade. Galuchat, known for its resistance to wear, also lends a touch of luxury, adding to the sword’s overall prestige and enhancing its visual appeal.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin, the tsuka offers a secure and comfortable grip. The granular texture of the ray skin is prized for its superior grip, ensuring optimal control even in the most demanding conditions. This material not only enhances the sword’s durability but also provides an exceptional handling experience, making it ideal for both display and practice.
