Features of the Ketsueki Katana
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is a masterful creation, symbolising both fiery passion and unyielding precision. With its refined T10 steel blade and striking red lacquered scabbard, this Katana embodies the very essence of Japanese sword craftsmanship, blending beauty with formidable effectiveness.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-quality T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Ketsueki is renowned for its high carbon content, delivering exceptional cutting ability and enhanced wear resistance. The visible hamon, a result of meticulous differential hardening, and the mirror polish not only create a captivating visual appeal but also highlight the technical mastery of the swordsmiths. This blade is designed for those who seek both outstanding performance and lasting durability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba, adorned with delicate silver-gilded engravings, strikes the perfect balance between function and refinement. Chosen for its strength and malleability, the copper guard provides effective hand protection while adding a touch of sophistication to the Katana. Both practical and artistic, the tsuba enhances the sword’s overall harmony, seamlessly connecting its various elements.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from wood and coated in a bold, vivid red lacquer, commands attention with its striking visual presence. In addition to offering robust protection for the blade, the scabbard adds an artistic dimension with its vibrant colour. The traditionally woven cotton sageo complements the aesthetic while providing a secure and comfortable way to carry the Katana during transport.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic white shagreen, the tsuka provides a firm, ergonomic grip. Shagreen, prized for its durability and granular texture, ensures maximum grip, which is essential for precise movements. The menuki, subtly incorporated with floral motifs that echo the design of the tsuba, enhance the visual harmony between the guard and the handle, contributing to the overall balance and elegance of the Katana.
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is far more than just a sword—it is a martial masterpiece that honours the legacy of the samurai. With its T10 steel blade, beautifully sculpted tsuba, and daring red scabbard, this Katana is both deadly and elegant. Crafted for those who appreciate the perfection of Japanese sword forging and the spirit of bushido, the Ketsueki Katana embodies the lethal beauty of the warrior, blending power and grace in every detail.
