Features of the Doragon Katana
The Katana Doragon is a masterful creation that embodies the perfect fusion between the ancient craft of Japanese swordsmithing and the symbolic majesty of the dragon, a mythical creature revered in Eastern culture.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel with a stunning Hamon, this 71 cm blade is a visual masterpiece. The swirling patterns characteristic of Damascus steel are the result of a complex folding process, giving the blade not only exceptional strength but also enhanced durability. These distinctive patterns, unique to each blade, reflect both the beauty and power inherent in traditional sword-making techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
Sculpted from copper, the Tsuba features an intricate depiction of a dragon, symbolising power, protection, and wisdom in Japanese mythology. More than just a functional element designed to protect the hands, the Tsuba is a work of art in itself, adding to the mystical aura of this Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The Saya, made from lacquered wood, is adorned with delicately hand-painted floral motifs. These designs bring a natural elegance that contrasts beautifully with the raw power of the blade. The lacquer not only protects the wood from the elements but also adds a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing the luxurious appeal of the entire piece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the Tsuka combines both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Its textured surface, known for its durability and grip, ensures a secure and comfortable hold. The copper Menuki, subtly integrated into the design, add a symbolic and decorative touch that complements the overall harmony of the Katana.
