Features of the Kuro Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, a superior grade of Maru steel, this blade stands out for its high carbon content, which gives it exceptional hardness and remarkable resilience. 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge over long periods, while offering excellent resistance to wear and tear. Perfect for dedicated beginners or seasoned practitioners, the 1095 steel blade ensures clean, precise cuts, while its durability inspires confidence during training.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and protection. Brass, chosen for its durability and corrosion resistance, provides a sturdy barrier between the blade and the hand, ensuring optimal safety during handling. The finely engraved designs on the guard add an artistic touch while maintaining maximum functionality, achieving an ideal blend of beauty and practicality.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lightweight and durable magnolia wood, is designed to protect the blade while making the Katana easy to carry and handle. Magnolia is renowned for its ability to resist moisture, effectively protecting the blade from corrosion. The lacquered finish of the saya not only adds a refined touch of sophistication but also increases durability, making the scabbard more resistant to scratches and impacts.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, crafted from solid wood and wrapped in genuine ray skin (galuchat), ensures a firm and comfortable grip. Galuchat, a material traditionally prized for its non-slip texture, provides a secure hold even during prolonged use. The carefully executed wrapping enhances the authenticity of the Katana while ensuring excellent ergonomics, essential for precise control during movement.
The Kuro Katana 黒 stands out for its high-quality materials and sleek design, making it an ideal choice for both serious beginners and more experienced practitioners. Combining robustness with elegance, it is designed to provide an optimal cutting experience while presenting itself as an exceptional martial art weapon. Every element of the Katana has been carefully selected to guarantee harmony between beauty and functionality, allowing its owner to fully master the art of the Japanese Katana.
