Kouji Katana 王子

Features of the Kouji Katana

The Katana Kouji is a majestic piece, symbolising nobility and elegance, embodying both the spirit of the samurai warrior and regal grace. Forged with meticulous attention to detail, this Katana is crafted from manganese steel, renowned for its durability and ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge. Ideal for training and cutting practice, the Katana Kouji perfectly blends aesthetics and functionality, paying tribute to the martial traditions of Japan.

Blade (Tōshin 刀身)

The blade, forged from manganese steel, offers exceptional toughness, making it resistant to wear while maintaining a sharp edge. Equipped with a bo-hi (groove), the blade’s weight is reduced, improving balance and manoeuvrability. This feature also creates a distinctive and harmonious resonance when the Katana is wielded with precision, enhancing the connection between the sword and its wielder. The length and finesse of the blade allow for fluid, responsive movements, ideal for practitioners looking to refine their cutting techniques.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

The tsuba, sculpted from zinc alloy, combines strength with intricate craftsmanship. Adorned with traditional motifs symbolising the power and prestige of the samurai, it adds an aesthetic dimension while reinforcing the grip’s stability and security. The detailed engravings on the guard reflect the refined craftsmanship that defines this Katana, giving it a regal appearance.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

The saya, made from lightweight wood, is carefully lacquered to provide optimal protection for the blade while offering a smooth, elegant finish. This lacquer coating, aside from being visually appealing, also protects the wood from the elements, ensuring the scabbard’s durability and longevity. Its polished surface enhances the luxurious feel of the Katana, balancing strength with refinement.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Crafted from high-quality wood, the handle is adorned with a brass kashira, which seals the hilt with elegance. This golden brass detail adds a touch of prestige and brilliance, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip. The tsuka is wrapped in authentic ray skin (galuchat), enhancing the grip and providing extra durability, ensuring that the Katana remains firmly in hand during even the most technical movements.
