Features of the Orochi Katana
The Katana Orochi is a true masterpiece of martial craftsmanship, forged with an expertise that honours the traditions of ancient Japanese swordsmiths. Created for those who seek the highest standard of excellence, this Katana blends beauty, power, and precision in every detail.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, the blade is renowned for its strength and exceptional edge retention. The hamon, meticulously crafted, displays a striking flame-like pattern, the result of masterful selective tempering. This hamon not only showcases the skill of the swordsmith but also ensures superior hardness. The mirror polish enhances the blade’s refined lines, making it not only visually stunning but also incredibly precise when cutting.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The golden sculpted copper tsuba is both an aesthetic and functional element of the Katana. Each engraved detail highlights the refinement of Japanese craftsmanship. Chosen for its malleability and durability, the copper tsuba ages gracefully, developing an elegant patina over time. Its weight also contributes to the Katana’s perfect balance, ensuring smooth and harmonious handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The ebony wood saya is designed to offer optimal protection for the blade while adding a touch of sophistication. Ebony, known for its density and strength, safeguards the blade from external elements. The kurigata, crafted from bull horn, adds a unique touch of exclusivity, combining robustness with elegance. The sageo, carefully woven, securely attaches to the saya, ensuring safe transportation.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Covered in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a non-slip grip, essential for precise and safe handling. Shagreen, prized for its durability and luxurious appearance, gives the handle a unique texture. The golden copper menuki, placed with care, not only add a decorative element but also enhance grip, ensuring optimal control during movement.
Structure
Two bamboo mekugi ensure the perfect stability between the blade and handle, allowing for traditional disassembly for meticulous maintenance. This system, inherited from ancient sword-making techniques, guarantees the longevity of the weapon.
The Katana Orochi perfectly embodies both power and elegance, merging the discipline of the Japanese sword with a sophisticated design. This Katana is for those who seek not only a functional weapon for practice but also a collector’s piece, with each use or display paying tribute to the heritage of Bushido.
