Features of the Yūkan’na Katana
The Yūkan’na Katana is an exceptional masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, designed for those who seek a flawless, high-quality sword. Representing the pinnacle of Japanese forging tradition, this Katana is crafted for discerning collectors and practitioners in search of a truly masterful blade.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged using the ancient Kobuse technique, the blade of the Yūkan’na Katana combines T10 steel with a Damascus hamon, created through clay tempering, delivering both resilience and beauty. T10 steel is renowned for its balance of hardness and flexibility, providing outstanding strength, while the Damascus patterns form a unique hamon, a result of selective tempering. This enhances the blade’s cutting performance and durability. The cross-hatched edge enables precise cuts, meeting the high expectations of even the most skilled masters.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The pure copper tsuba, adorned with gold and silver accents, exudes both nobility and strength. Copper offers exceptional durability while providing reliable hand protection during use. The gold and silver details add a touch of refinement, enhancing the sword’s prestigious appearance and reinforcing its status as a work of art.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and covered in luxurious green ray skin (shagreen), provides both strength and elegance. This unique finish evokes the depth and richness of ancient forests while ensuring optimal protection for the blade. Known for its resistance to wear, galuchat lends a touch of luxury, elevating the sword’s visual appeal and overall prestige.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin, the tsuka offers a secure and comfortable grip. The granular texture of ray skin provides superior grip, ensuring control even under the most demanding conditions. This material not only enhances the sword’s durability but also delivers an exceptional handling experience, making it ideal for both display and practice.
