Features of the Suigyoku Katana
The Katana Suigyoku 翠玉 is a true masterpiece, blending natural elegance with technical performance, crafted to satisfy both collectors and martial arts practitioners alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from spring steel, the blade stands out for its flexibility and resilience. This combination allows it to absorb shocks while maintaining an exceptional sharpness. Hand-forged by skilled artisans, the blade’s hammered texture enhances the structure of the steel, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. This traditional crafting technique ensures lasting durability while highlighting the timeless artistry of the sword.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, made from a zinc alloy and delicately gilded, balances lightness with strength. Zinc, known for its corrosion resistance, ensures the longevity of the guard while maintaining the overall balance of the weapon. The finely sculpted details add a touch of refinement, enhancing the visual elegance of this exceptional piece.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lacquered green wood, provides optimal protection for the blade. The carefully applied lacquer shields the wood from external elements and scratches, while offering a lustrous finish. The matching sageo, made from durable cotton, ensures secure transport and adds a harmonious aesthetic that complements the Katana’s overall design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Covered in genuine green shagreen, the tsuka ensures a firm and comfortable grip, crucial for precise handling. The unique and durable texture of the shagreen prevents slipping, providing perfect adhesion during technical movements. The copper menuki and bamboo mekugi are not merely decorative, but play a critical role in reinforcing the handle’s structure, ensuring the blade remains securely fastened.
The Katana Suigyoku 翠玉 flawlessly blends aesthetic beauty with martial engineering. Its flexible spring steel blade, green shagreen-covered handle, and gilded tsuba make this Katana a symbol of harmony between art and functionality.
