Features of the Doragon Katana
The Katana Doragon is a masterful creation that embodies the perfect fusion of traditional Japanese swordsmithing and the symbolic power of the dragon, a creature revered in Eastern mythology for its strength and wisdom.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel with a striking hamon, this 71 cm blade is truly a visual masterpiece. The swirling patterns characteristic of Damascus steel are achieved through a complex folding process, giving the blade not only exceptional strength but also enhanced durability. Each blade’s unique pattern reflects both the beauty and power of traditional sword-making techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is intricately sculpted with a detailed depiction of a dragon, symbolizing power, protection, and wisdom in Japanese culture. Beyond its protective function, the tsuba is a work of art that enhances the mystical aura of this Katana, adding depth and elegance to its design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from lacquered wood, the saya is adorned with delicately hand-painted floral motifs. These designs bring a natural elegance that contrasts beautifully with the strength of the blade. The lacquer not only protects the wood from the elements but also adds a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing the luxurious appeal of the entire piece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The textured surface of shagreen, known for its durability and grip, ensures a secure and comfortable hold. Copper menuki, subtly embedded into the design, add a decorative and symbolic element that complements the harmony of the Katana.
