Features of the Miyamoto Katana
The Katana Miyamoto is a unique masterpiece that embodies both elegance and strength, paying homage to the ancient art of Japanese swordsmithing. Every detail of this Katana has been meticulously crafted to reflect the finesse of traditional craftsmanship, while ensuring outstanding performance for cutting.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, renowned for its high carbon content, the blade offers superior strength and sharpness, making it ideal for cutting tatami. The Hamon, subtly revealed through a precise tempering process, is a testament to traditional sword-making expertise and adds an undeniable aesthetic appeal. The inclusion of a Bo-Hi (groove) lightens the blade, improving balance and enhancing manoeuvrability during the execution of techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, sculpted from copper, is a work of art in itself, adorned with delicate gold detailing. More than just a protective element, it symbolises strength and prestige, showcasing a refined design inspired by the warrior traditions of Japan. The intricately engraved motifs elevate the overall aesthetic while ensuring effective hand protection during handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from sculpted copper and brass, combines durability with sophistication. The copper ensures optimal protection for the blade, while the brass, with its golden lustre, adds a touch of timeless elegance. This fusion of materials gives the scabbard a majestic appearance, perfectly complementing the blade.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides exceptional grip, blending comfort with security. The galuchat, prized for its resilience and textured surface, offers optimal grip, allowing for precise and controlled handling of the Katana. This covering not only enhances performance but also adds to the visual beauty of the weapon.
