Features of the Kage Katana
The Katana Kage is a true masterpiece of martial artistry, blending refined aesthetics with formidable cutting performance. Every aspect of this sword reflects the delicate balance between elegance and power, paying tribute to centuries-old Japanese sword-making traditions.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the black blade stands out for its exceptional toughness and durability. Designed to withstand repeated sharpening while maintaining its razor-sharp edge, this blade is ideal for serious practitioners seeking long-lasting reliability. Manganese steel, known for its wear resistance and ability to retain a sharp edge, gives this Katana unparalleled durability, making it suitable for both training and cutting demonstrations.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
Crafted from zinc alloy, the Tsuba perfectly balances lightness and strength, providing effective hand protection without compromising manoeuvrability. The intricately sculpted motifs embody both strength and elegance, reflecting the traditional values of martial arts. This balance between beauty and functionality enhances the grip while adding a visually striking element to the overall design of the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from ebony wood, the Saya offers not only a dark elegance but also natural resistance, effectively protecting the blade from external elements. The Kurigata, made from bull horn, adds a luxurious and sturdy touch, ensuring increased durability while enhancing the visual appeal of the scabbard.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the handle offers a textured grip that ensures a firm and comfortable hold, even during prolonged use. Ray skin, prized for its durability and resistance to wear, strengthens the Tsuka, adding to the sword’s overall longevity. Subtle zinc alloy Menuki enhance the balance and manoeuvrability, while the two bamboo Mekugi ensure the traditional and reliable fastening of the blade to the handle.
