Crafted with exceptional artisanal care, this Katana is both a work of art and a functional tool, paying homage to centuries of Japanese sword-making expertise.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, renowned for its strength and ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge, the blade of the Katana Nihon represents the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. The flame-shaped hamon highlights the precision of the differential tempering process, providing the blade with optimal hardness. This feature not only enhances the Katana’s cutting ability but also serves as a striking visual representation of traditional mastery.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, sculpted from copper and set against a deep black background, symbolizes the perfect balance between functionality and artistry. Copper is chosen for its durability, ensuring the guard remains strong and resilient over time. As it ages, its natural patina adds character, enriching the Katana’s overall aesthetic. More than just a protective element, the tsuba offers a harmonious visual and symbolic contribution to the sword’s design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lacquered black wood, is adorned with hand-painted motifs that evoke Japan’s cultural heritage. This meticulously applied finish not only protects the blade from the elements but also transforms the scabbard into a true work of art. The lacquer provides protection against moisture while the traditional designs reflect the elegance and richness of Japanese craftsmanship.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic white shagreen, providing a firm and comfortable grip for precise handling. This material, prized for its texture and durability, ensures exceptional comfort and long-lasting quality. Iron menuki and bamboo mekugi play a crucial role in the structural integrity of the Katana, securing the blade while adding subtle decorative details that enhance both function and aesthetics.
