Features of the Kage Katana
The Katana Kage is a masterful piece of martial artistry, blending refined aesthetics with exceptional cutting performance. Every detail of this sword embodies the balance between elegance and power, paying tribute to centuries-old Japanese sword-making traditions.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the black blade is notable for its exceptional durability and toughness. Built to endure repeated sharpening while retaining its razor-sharp edge, this blade is ideal for dedicated practitioners seeking long-lasting reliability. Manganese steel, known for its high resistance to wear and sharp edge retention, gives the Kage Katana unparalleled durability, making it a perfect choice for both rigorous training and cutting demonstrations.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
Crafted from zinc alloy, the tsuba combines lightweight construction with strength, providing reliable hand protection without limiting manoeuvrability. The intricate motifs embody both strength and elegance, honouring the traditional values of martial arts. This careful balance between beauty and function enhances grip while adding a visually striking element to the Katana’s overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from ebony wood, exudes a sophisticated, dark elegance and offers natural resistance to protect the blade from external elements. The kurigata, made from bull horn, adds a luxurious and sturdy touch, contributing to both durability and the visual appeal of the scabbard.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the handle provides a textured grip, ensuring a firm, comfortable hold even during prolonged use. Known for its durability and resistance to wear, ray skin strengthens the tsuka, enhancing the Katana’s overall longevity. Subtle zinc alloy menuki provide balance and finesse, while two bamboo mekugi pins secure the blade in the traditional manner, ensuring a strong and reliable attachment to the handle.
The Katana Kage is an ideal choice for both practitioners and collectors looking for a sword that embodies precision, tradition, and refined beauty. With its elegant finish and meticulous craftsmanship, this Katana captivates with its timeless aesthetic and exceptional performance, making it a perfect companion for training or a stunning piece for display.
