Features of the Kengen Katana
The Katana Kengen is an extraordinary piece, expertly forged using the ancient San-Mai technique, offering a perfect balance of strength and flexibility. This Katana embodies a harmonious blend of aesthetics and performance, designed for discerning collectors and martial arts practitioners seeking a superior-quality blade.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted using the San-Mai technique, the blade features a T10 steel core encased in Damascus steel, with a distinctive hamon. This tripartite construction provides exceptional rigidity along the sides, while maintaining flexibility at its core, allowing it to withstand significant impact without breaking. The result is an incredibly sharp blade that performs with precision and resilience, ideal for clean, effortless cuts.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is beautifully adorned with gold and silver inlays, giving the Katana a refined and majestic appearance. Designed to offer effective hand protection while being a central decorative feature, the tsuba showcases traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Copper is not only strong but also naturally antimicrobial and develops a unique patina over time, enhancing the character of each individual Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is made from solid wood and covered with a rich, deep green lacquer, inspired by ray skin, providing a luxurious contrast to the blade. This elegant finish ensures optimal protection for the blade from external elements, while adding a noble and sophisticated look to the Katana. The lacquer’s texture and durability make it an essential component for the long-term preservation of the blade.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic ray skin, the tsuka guarantees a secure and comfortable grip. The granular texture of the ray skin, renowned for its durability and wear resistance, enhances safety and comfort during handling, while also adding an aesthetic dimension to the overall design. This premium material is a favourite for high-quality Katanas, elevating both the tactile and visual experience for the user.
The Katana Kengen is the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, offering a superior blade that balances flexibility and robustness thanks to the San-Mai forging technique. With its refined design elements, including a copper tsuba with gold and silver inlays, and a deep green lacquered scabbard, this Katana is both functional and visually striking. Ideal for Japanese weapon enthusiasts, it is a true work of art that impresses as much in handling as it does in appearance.
