Features of the Kaji Katana
The Katana Kaji 火事 is a striking tribute to traditional Japanese sword-making, capturing the essence of fire in its design. Created for both martial artists and dedicated collectors, it harmoniously blends aesthetics with high performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, celebrated for its exceptional strength and sharpness retention, the blade displays an elegantly undulating hamon. This pattern, achieved through controlled differential hardening, provides added flexibility while preserving a razor-sharp edge. Dual bo-hi (grooves) lighten the blade, enhancing manoeuvrability and producing a satisfying whistling sound during swift strikes, a feature highly valued in cutting practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted copper tsuba depicts a dragon, a revered symbol of wisdom and strength in Japanese culture. Besides its artistic beauty, the tsuba plays a crucial role in hand protection, with durable construction that ensures long-lasting defence. The fine detailing on the dragon design highlights the exceptional skill of the artisans.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from red lacquered wood, the saya symbolizes passion and courage, complemented by a bold red-and-white sageo that adds both visual appeal and practicality. The expertly applied lacquer finish protects the wood from environmental wear while providing a vibrant, polished look. The securely tied sageo allows for safe carrying and ensures smooth, efficient drawing and sheathing of the sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka provides a comfortable and secure grip. Known for its resilience and non-slip texture, the shagreen allows for precise handling even during intense training. Copper menuki, subtly placed for visual appeal, enhance the overall elegance, while bamboo mekugi secure the blade firmly to the handle, ensuring structural integrity during use.
The Katana Kaji 火事 is a stunning fusion of tradition and performance. Its T10 steel blade with a flowing hamon, finely detailed copper tsuba, and vibrant red lacquered scabbard make this sword as functional as it is beautiful. Perfect for martial arts practice or as a treasured collector’s piece, this Katana is a tribute to the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese swordsmiths, inspired by the enduring power and beauty of fire.
