Features of the Tame Katana
The Katana Tame 鍛冶 is a true work of art, a tribute to traditional Japanese craftsmanship where every detail has been meticulously crafted to blend aesthetics, performance, and symbolism seamlessly.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Tame Katana stands out with a stunning undulating hamon, the result of expert selective tempering. The striking contrast between the temper line and the silvery sheen of the steel adds both subtle beauty and commanding presence to the blade. With its high carbon content, T10 steel ensures exceptional hardness and the ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge, even after repeated use. Hand-hammered by master craftsmen, each blade is a unique creation, a testament to the skill and expertise of the swordsmith.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, intricately crafted from copper with gold and silver accents, features nature-inspired motifs. This delicate yet purposeful design goes beyond decoration, perfectly balancing the sword for enhanced manoeuvrability and precision. The floral motifs pay homage to samurai heritage, symbolising life, growth, and the deep connection to nature that the samurai held dear.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from deeply lacquered green wood, reflects the natural world and the harmony between man and environment. Its lacquered finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also protects the wood from the wear of time, ensuring long-lasting durability. The black sageo complements the design with a subtle contrast, adding a touch of elegance while providing a secure fastening for the sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen, offering a secure and comfortable grip. This traditional material, prized for its durability and unique texture, ensures perfect grip, essential for precise handling during practice. The complex tsukamaki wrapping further enhances the connection between the wielder and the sword, allowing for complete control and stability during movement.
The Katana Tame 鍛冶 is far more than just a sword—it is a masterpiece forged in respect of Japan’s centuries-old traditions. Crafted for those who seek the perfect balance between beauty and functionality, this Katana is ideal for both martial arts practice and as a collector’s piece.
