Features of the Ōkami Katana
The Ōkami Katana, inspired by the spirit of the wolf, embodies pride, strength, and independence through its meticulous design and exceptional materials. Every detail of this Katana reflects a harmonious balance between tradition and functionality, making it an essential piece for Japanese weapon enthusiasts and martial arts practitioners alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, renowned for its high carbon content, the blade of the Ōkami Katana stands out for its durability and its ability to maintain an exceptionally sharp edge. The hamon, subtly etched along the blade, is a result of selective tempering, ensuring the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility. This detail, both aesthetic and technical, enhances the blade’s longevity while showcasing the ancestral craftsmanship of the swordsmith.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba flawlessly combines functionality with artistry. Chosen for its malleability and resistance to corrosion, copper allows for the creation of intricate designs that blend tradition with elegance. This guard effectively protects the hand while adding an artistic touch that echoes the historical beauty of traditional Japanese swords.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya is adorned with the crest of the Toyotomi clan, paying homage to a pivotal era in Japanese history. The glossy lacquer not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides durable protection against the elements, preserving both the quality of the wood and the beauty of the scabbard. This blend of tradition and modernity makes the saya a central element in both the visual and functional balance of the sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white ray skin (galuchat), offering a grip that is both comfortable and secure. This material, prized for its non-slip texture and durability, is a preferred choice in Katana construction. The ray skin not only increases the weapon’s durability but also lends a luxurious aesthetic, highlighting each movement with refined elegance.
The Ōkami Katana is more than just a functional weapon—it is a work of art that symbolises the strength, independence, and nobility of the wolf. Designed for enthusiasts of Japanese history and tradition, as well as martial artists, this Katana strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. Whether for training or as a valuable addition to a collection, the Ōkami Katana stands out for its exceptional quality and refined design.
