Features of the Kengen Katana
The Kengen Katana is an extraordinary piece, expertly forged using the ancient San-Mai technique, achieving an ideal balance of strength and flexibility. This Katana seamlessly combines aesthetics and performance, crafted for discerning collectors and martial artists who demand superior quality in their blade.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted with the San-Mai technique, the blade features a T10 steel core encased in Damascus steel, with a distinctive hamon. This layered construction provides exceptional rigidity along the edges, while maintaining flexibility at the core, allowing it to absorb significant impact without compromising strength. The result is a razor-sharp blade that offers precision and resilience, perfect for smooth, effortless cuts.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is exquisitely adorned with gold and silver inlays, giving the Katana a refined and majestic appearance. Designed to provide reliable hand protection while enhancing visual appeal, the tsuba showcases traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Copper is valued for its strength, natural antimicrobial properties, and unique patina that develops over time, adding character to each individual Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is crafted from solid wood and finished with a deep green lacquer inspired by ray skin, offering a luxurious contrast to the blade. This elegant finish provides optimal protection from external elements, while adding a noble, sophisticated look to the Katana. The lacquer’s durable texture is essential to preserving the blade over time.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic ray skin, the tsuka ensures a secure, comfortable grip. The textured surface of ray skin, renowned for its durability and resistance to wear, provides excellent control and comfort, enhancing safety during use. This premium material, favoured in high-quality Katanas, elevates the overall tactile and visual experience.
The Kengen Katana is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, offering a blade that harmonizes flexibility and strength through the San-Mai forging technique. With its refined design elements, including a copper tsuba with gold and silver accents, and a deep green lacquered saya, this Katana is both functional and visually stunning.
