Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, known for its strength and sharp edge retention, this blade is ideal for rigorous martial arts practice. The distinctive violet hue adds a captivating aesthetic touch without affecting the steel’s durability and flexibility. The beautifully visible hamon along the blade is a product of expert differential hardening, enhancing both the blade’s strength and precision. This feature not only serves as a testament to the craftsmanship but also contributes to the blade’s functionality, making it both visually impressive and highly effective.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from pure gold-plated copper, combines elegance with durability. Copper’s natural resistance to corrosion provides effective hand protection while keeping the Katana balanced without excess weight. Intricate engravings on the tsuba reflect exceptional artistry, adding a refined aesthetic that honours Japanese sword-making traditions.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is crafted from dense, durable ebony wood, providing both solid protection and a sophisticated appearance. Renowned for its strength, ebony adds a touch of prestige to the Katana. The kurigata, crafted from bull horn, enhances the sense of luxury, bringing an authentic and noble finish that further highlights the scabbard’s exceptional quality.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a secure, comfortable grip and is highly resistant to wear. Known for its unique texture and strength, ray skin improves both handling control and stability. Finely crafted copper menuki and two bamboo mekugi reinforce the structural integrity, adding traditional ornamental touches that enhance the Katana’s authenticity.
