Features of the Ōchō Katana
The Ōchō Katana embodies the grandeur and nobility of Japanese tradition, blending refined craftsmanship with high-quality materials. This elegant and high-performing sword is perfect for beginner practitioners and decoration enthusiasts looking to add a touch of history to their home.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, the blade of the Ōchō Katana stands out for its exceptional durability and ability to maintain a precise edge. The visible hamon, created through differential hardening, ensures both great hardness and flexibility, ideal for cutting practice. This aesthetic detail highlights the art of traditional sword forging, while the mirror polish enhances the blade’s brilliance and reduces friction during movements, making it as visually captivating as it is effective.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba is intricately sculpted with the famous Kanagawa wave, a symbol of strength and perseverance in the face of challenges. This design choice, paired with the solidity of brass, adds an artistic dimension to the Katana while providing effective hand protection. The carefully engraved emblem adds refinement and depth, making the sword both functional and aesthetically rich.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya protects the blade with elegance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the lacquer provides additional protection against moisture and external damage, ensuring the sword’s longevity. Its glossy, smooth finish perfectly complements the blade’s nobility, creating a visual harmony that makes this Katana ideal for display.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The handle, made from solid wood, is wrapped in ray skin (shagreen), known for its unique texture and durability. This combination ensures a stable and comfortable grip, providing optimal control during use. The ray skin, prized for its resistance to wear, guarantees long-lasting durability even during regular training sessions.
