Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from Damascus steel, the 72 cm blade showcases unique wave-like patterns—signature marks of layered steel forging. These captivating patterns not only add visual depth but also contribute to the blade’s durability and flexibility. With a width of 3.2 cm and a thickness of 0.7 cm, the blade offers a substantial presence, delivering precise and fluid cuts suitable for both practice and display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is an intricately crafted piece, featuring designs inspired by nature and ancient traditions. Serving both as a protective and decorative element, this guard adds artistic and symbolic depth to the Katana. Beyond its beauty, the tsuba provides solid hand protection, enhancing the weapon’s balance and overall handling.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lightweight wood and lacquered in a deep black, embodies elegance and resilience. Expertly carved and polished, this scabbard not only protects the blade but also enhances the Katana’s aesthetic with traditional patterns. Its sleek, glossy finish adds sophistication and long-lasting durability, ensuring the blade remains secure and protected.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen, the tsuka ensures a firm, comfortable grip. The textured shagreen surface provides optimal traction, essential for precise, confident movements. Zinc alloy menuki, skillfully integrated along with two bamboo mekugi, add both decoration and structural stability, ensuring the handle’s durability for long-term use.
