Nobunaga Katana 信長

Features of the Nobunaga Katana

The Katana Nobunaga is an exceptional piece that masterfully combines refined aesthetics with martial performance. Every element of this Katana has been meticulously crafted to deliver both a superior handling experience and captivating visual beauty. It embodies nobility and power, paying homage to the legacy of one of Japan’s greatest warlords, Oda Nobunaga.

Blade (Tōshin 刀身)

Forged from manganese steel, the blade boasts both flexibility and strength, making this Katana ideal for practising cutting techniques. Its striking golden hue, bold and distinctive, adds a prestigious and elegant appearance, setting it apart from traditional Katanas. This vibrant colour reflects light brilliantly, adding a dramatic visual dimension that draws immediate attention.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

The finely sculpted copper tsuba is both a functional guard and a work of art. Copper, prized for its natural resistance to corrosion, allows for detailed engravings, giving the guard a look that is both elegant and protective. Serving not only to shield the user’s hand, the tsuba also acts as a visual centrepiece, enhancing the noble aura of the Katana.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

Crafted from ebony wood, a dense and durable material, the saya offers solid protection while exuding timeless elegance with its deep, refined finish. This scabbard is enhanced by a kurigata made from bull horn, a material valued for both its strength and natural beauty. The carefully braided sageo adds security during transport while providing a subtle contrast against the ebony, enriching the overall aesthetic of the weapon.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka ensures a secure and comfortable grip. This material, renowned for its durability and natural adhesion, allows for optimal control when wielding the Katana. The finely detailed copper menuki add a further touch of elegance, while the bamboo mekugi provide structural stability, ensuring that the blade remains firmly in place, even during intense training sessions.
