Features of the Ketsueki Katana
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, symbolizing both fiery passion and precision. With its refined T10 steel blade and bold red lacquered scabbard, this Katana combines beauty with remarkable functionality, capturing the essence of traditional sword-making.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-quality T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Ketsueki is known for its high carbon content, delivering superior cutting power and enhanced durability. The visible hamon, created through meticulous differential hardening, and the mirror polish add to the captivating visual appeal while showcasing the technical skill of the swordsmiths. This blade is designed for those who value both high performance and lasting durability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba, adorned with intricate silver-gilded engravings, combines functionality with elegance. Copper, chosen for its strength and malleability, provides reliable hand protection while adding sophistication to the Katana. The tsuba serves both practical and decorative purposes, enhancing the overall harmony of the sword by seamlessly connecting its elements.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from wood and coated in bold, vivid red lacquer, commands attention with its striking visual presence. Providing robust blade protection, the scabbard also adds an artistic dimension with its vibrant colour. The traditionally woven cotton sageo complements the design, providing a secure, comfortable means to carry the Katana.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen, the tsuka provides a firm, ergonomic grip. Shagreen, known for its durability and textured grip, ensures maximum control—crucial for precise movements. The menuki, subtly integrated with floral motifs that echo the tsuba design, contribute to the visual harmony between the guard and handle, enhancing the overall balance and elegance of the Katana.
The Katana Ketsueki 血液 is far more than a weapon; it’s a martial masterpiece that honours the samurai legacy. With its T10 steel blade, intricately sculpted tsuba, and striking red saya, this Katana embodies both elegance and power. Designed for those who appreciate the perfection of Japanese sword forging and the spirit of bushido, the Ketsueki Katana merges strength and grace in every detail.
