Features of the Pikokku Katana
The Katana Pikokku ピコック is a true masterpiece, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with exceptional functionality. This Katana showcases the refined skill of Japanese swordsmiths in working with T10 steel, a high-carbon steel prized for its hardness and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. This durability makes it resistant to breakage under pressure. The choji hamon, visible along the blade, is more than an elegant detail; it reflects the mastery of the tempering process, ensuring enhanced strength and precise cutting performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade offers superior strength and toughness, resulting in a sharp and resilient edge. The choji hamon—a wave-like temper line created through selective hardening—highlights the blade’s thermal treatment, adding to its visual appeal. This beautiful pattern enhances both the blade’s resilience and its excellent cutting capability.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted tsuba, crafted from gilded copper, provides a balanced and protective element for the wielder’s hand. Copper’s malleability and natural resistance to corrosion make it a luxurious yet durable choice, adding a touch of elegance without sacrificing strength or functionality.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is carefully painted and lacquered to protect the blade while enhancing the Katana’s overall aesthetic. Its refined patterns complement the sword’s visual theme, while the green sageo provides a secure and stylish fastening, blending practicality with elegance.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen, the tsuka provides a secure, comfortable grip with its textured, non-slip surface. The traditional diamond-shaped wrapping pattern not only improves grip but also enhances comfort. Delicately placed copper menuki add a sophisticated touch while contributing to the handle’s ergonomic design.
Fixation (Mekugi)
Two bamboo mekugi pins secure the blade to the handle, ensuring essential stability. This traditional fixing method provides both safety and reliability, allowing for smooth, controlled handling.
The Katana Pikokku ピコック is an exceptional piece that elegantly combines tradition with modern sophistication. From its T10 steel blade to its shagreen-covered handle, every element is designed for optimal performance while maintaining refined aesthetics. Ideal for collectors and martial artists alike, this Katana represents the perfect fusion of craftsmanship and functionality, honouring the legacy of Japanese sword-making.
