The Katana Ikoi 勢い, meaning “momentum” or “impulse,” is a masterfully crafted piece that harmoniously blends power with refinement. Designed for martial arts experts and discerning collectors alike, every detail of this Katana has been meticulously engineered to deliver both flawless performance and stunning aesthetics.

Blade (Tōshin 刀身)

Forged from T10 steel, the Katana Ikoi boasts exceptional durability and the ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge with remarkable precision. The flame-shaped hamon, created through an expertly controlled tempering process, is a testament to the craftsmanship that goes into its making. This captivating pattern reflects not only the artistry of the smith but also the blade’s efficiency during fast and fluid cuts.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

The tsuba, made from pure copper, is intricately sculpted with delicate gold and silver detailing, enhancing both the elegance and the commanding presence of the Katana. In addition to protecting the hand, this guard serves as a powerful decorative feature, enriching the weapon’s personality and character while adding an artistic dimension to the piece.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

Crafted from ebony wood, the saya offers unmatched strength and durability. Known for its density and resilience, this material ensures long-lasting protection for the blade. The kurigata, made from bull horn, symbolises the harmony between man and nature, lending a noble and organic touch to this exceptional piece.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Wrapped in authentic shagreen, the tsuka provides a firm yet luxurious grip. Shagreen, prized for its unique texture and resistance to wear, ensures precise and comfortable handling. This traditional material, often reserved for high-quality weaponry, underscores the attention to detail and durability that defines this Katana.

Menuki Kit

The gold-plated copper menuki, discreetly positioned beneath the tsuka’s wrapping, add a touch of subtle sophistication. These decorative elements not only enhance the Katana’s appearance but also contribute to its overall balance, ensuring optimal manoeuvrability.
