Gin Katana 銀

Features of the Gin Katana

The Katana Gin is a remarkable piece, combining understated elegance and refinement, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts of Japanese swords. This Katana stands out with its subtle yet striking aesthetic, featuring a lacquered magnolia wood scabbard in black and red, beautifully contrasted by the vivid red sageo reminiscent of ray skin. Every element of this Katana has been meticulously crafted to offer both a visually and functionally refined experience.

Blade (Tōshin 刀身)

Hand-forged by expert artisans, the blade is crafted from Damascus steel, known for its unique, wavy patterns that highlight the high quality of its craftsmanship. Its multi-layered structure provides exceptional strength and durability. The distinct Hamon, a signature mark of traditional heat treatment, not only enhances cutting efficiency but also adds a subtle elegance to the blade, making this Katana perfect for Tameshigiri.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

The Tsuba is made from pure copper and features intricate gold and silver detailing, masterfully sculpted by skilled craftsmen. Each carefully carved motif reflects traditional Japanese artistry, while also providing a sense of majesty and protection for the practitioner’s hand.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

The Saya, crafted from magnolia wood and finished with a sleek black and red lacquer, beautifully highlights the natural grain of the wood and the sophistication of its finish. The two-tone lacquer work creates a striking visual contrast, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Wrapped in authentic ray skin (shagreen), the Tsuka ensures a secure, non-slip grip. Known for its durability and texture, ray skin not only enhances the solidity of the handle but also elevates the overall aesthetic appeal of the Katana.

Measuring 103 cm in total length, with a 72 cm blade and weighing 1.4 kg including the scabbard, the Katana Gin is perfectly balanced for Tameshigiri practice or to grace any collection.
