Features of the Yougan Katana
The Katana Yougan is a martial masterpiece that will captivate both traditional Japanese sword enthusiasts and martial artists alike. Its design combines bold aesthetics with high performance, creating a perfect fusion of elegance and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-quality manganese steel, the blade boasts a mirror polish that gives it a sleek and modern finish. Manganese steel is renowned for its exceptional resistance to wear and its ability to maintain a sharp edge over time, ensuring optimal cutting performance. Its strength makes it an ideal choice for demanding practitioners seeking a reliable and durable blade that can withstand rigorous use.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The Tsuba, crafted from finely sculpted iron, embodies the delicacy and precision of Japanese craftsmanship. More than just a protective element, the Tsuba plays a crucial role in the overall balance of the Katana, allowing for increased manoeuvrability and smooth, controlled movements.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The Saya, lacquered in vibrant red and adorned with a dark blue Sageo, creates a striking aesthetic, blending nobility with boldness. The lacquered wood, chosen for its durability and timeless elegance, offers optimal protection for the blade, while adding a visually stunning contrast that makes this Katana a true showpiece when displayed.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The Tsuka is wrapped in genuine white ray skin (Galuchat), providing both a secure and comfortable grip. The unique granular texture of the Galuchat, prized for its resistance to moisture and wear, not only enhances grip but also adds to the overall durability of the handle, ensuring longevity even with regular use.
Menuki Set
The copper Menuki add a touch of refinement to the handle, staying true to the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, essential for maintaining optimal control of the Katana during practice or display.
