Features of the Kuro Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, a high-grade Maru steel, this blade stands out for its high carbon content, providing exceptional hardness and resilience. Known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge over time, 1095 steel offers excellent resistance to wear and tear. Perfect for dedicated beginners or experienced practitioners, the 1095 steel blade ensures clean, precise cuts, and its durability inspires confidence during training.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba balances aesthetics and protection seamlessly. Brass, chosen for its durability and corrosion resistance, serves as a sturdy barrier between the blade and the hand, ensuring safety during handling. The finely engraved designs on the tsuba add an artistic touch while maintaining full functionality, achieving a harmonious blend of beauty and practicality.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lightweight and durable magnolia wood, protects the blade while keeping the Katana easy to carry and handle. Magnolia is prized for its moisture resistance, effectively guarding the blade against corrosion. The lacquered finish on the saya adds a refined touch and increases durability, making it more resistant to scratches and impacts.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, crafted from solid wood and wrapped in genuine ray skin (galuchat), ensures a firm and comfortable grip. Galuchat, valued for its non-slip texture, provides a secure hold even during prolonged use. The carefully executed wrapping enhances the Katana’s authenticity and provides excellent ergonomics, essential for precise control in movement.
The Kuro Katana 黒 combines high-quality materials with a sleek design, making it an ideal choice for both serious beginners and seasoned practitioners. Combining strength with elegance, it’s crafted to deliver an optimal cutting experience while standing as an exceptional martial arts weapon. Each element has been thoughtfully selected to create harmony between beauty and functionality, allowing its owner to fully embrace the art of the Japanese Katana.
