Features of the Kurao Katana
The Katana Kurao is an outstanding creation that seamlessly merges traditional Japanese craftsmanship with functional design, embodying the strength and wisdom of the samurai. Crafted from premium materials with meticulous attention to detail, this Katana impresses with both its beauty and cutting ability.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, the Katana Kurao offers exceptional strength and superior cutting power. The differential hardening technique, visible through the elegantly wavy hamon, reflects the traditional expertise of its creation, delivering a blade with both hardness and flexibility. The addition of a bo-hi (groove) reduces the blade’s weight, enhancing manoeuvrability and allowing for smooth, swift movements during practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba, adorned with gilded accents, showcases the elegance and intricacy of Japanese craftsmanship. Known for its durability, the copper provides lasting strength, while the gold detailing adds a sense of prestige and artistry to the guard, making it both functional and visually captivating.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered blue saya, crafted from solid wood, offers robust protection for the blade while adding a touch of refinement with its gold dragon motif. In Japanese culture, the dragon symbolises strength and wisdom, making it a fitting emblem for this noble weapon. The carefully braided white sageo ensures secure attachment to the belt, enabling a swift and fluid draw when needed.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine blue ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka combines aesthetics with functionality. Known for its non-slip texture, this traditional material provides a firm and comfortable grip, essential for precise handling. Durable and elegant, the shagreen also enhances the Katana’s timeless appeal.
Accessories
The subtle addition of copper menuki adds a decorative element, while the two bamboo mekugi pins securely attach the blade to the handle. These thoughtful details not only enhance safety but also reflect the care and attention to detail given to every part of the Katana’s construction.
The Katana Kurao is more than just a weapon—it’s a piece of art, crafted with precision for admirers of Japanese tradition and functional swords. Striking a perfect balance between artistry and performance, it serves as an extension of both mind and body, ready to inspire and endure. Whether for practice or as part of a collection, the Katana Kurao captures the essence of the samurai and elevates the art of the Japanese sword.
