Features of the Nami Katana
The Nami Katana is an exceptional piece that seamlessly blends power and elegance, drawing inspiration from the symbolism of waves in Japanese culture, representing both strength and fluidity. Meticulously crafted, this Katana embodies artistic beauty and martial effectiveness.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the Nami Katana’s blade is renowned for its durability and ability to maintain an exceptional edge. The high-carbon T10 steel provides outstanding strength, allowing the blade to withstand impacts without cracking. The visible hamon, achieved through differential hardening, is more than just an aesthetic detail. It highlights the blade’s resilience—able to absorb shocks while maintaining flexibility and sharpness, like waves crashing against rocks, never breaking but always flowing.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted copper tsuba showcases the mastery of Japanese artisans. Copper’s malleability allows for intricate engravings, featuring motifs that evoke the fluidity of waves. Over time, the copper develops a natural patina, adding authenticity and character to the Katana. Along with its artistic appeal, the tsuba provides essential hand protection.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya features a stunning dragon motif, symbolizing power and protection in Japanese culture. Beyond its aesthetic value, the lacquer protects the wood from moisture, preserving the blade from external elements. The carefully tied cotton sageo adds to the Katana’s elegance while offering security and ease of transportation.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the handle provides an exceptionally secure grip. The naturally non-slip texture of galuchat ensures precise control of the blade, even during prolonged use. Subtly inlaid copper menuki add a decorative touch while enhancing grip, providing both comfort and safety in handling.
The Nami Katana is the perfect fusion of art and functionality. Its robust T10 steel blade, finely sculpted details, and nature-inspired design make it a formidable yet visually captivating sword. Whether you are a martial artist or a collector, this Katana embodies the strength of waves and the timeless elegance of Japanese craftsmanship, honouring the heritage of the samurai.
