Features of the Nara Katana
The Katana Nara 楢 is a remarkable piece that blends tradition and performance effortlessly. Created for martial arts enthusiasts and discerning collectors alike, this Katana shines in both its functionality and exceptional aesthetics. Every element of the Katana Nara is meticulously crafted to deliver a weapon that excels in both form and function.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from high-quality T10 steel, showcases a distinct hamon—a visible testament to the precise tempering process that gives the blade an ideal balance of hardness and flexibility. Beyond its visual appeal, the hamon enhances the blade’s structural integrity, ensuring resilience during strikes. The addition of a BO-HI (groove) lightens the blade, enhancing manoeuvrability and enabling quicker, more precise technique execution. This combination results in exceptional cutting capability and superior control.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted tsuba, crafted from gilded copper, adds both refinement and balance to the Katana. Copper’s natural resistance to corrosion ensures the tsuba’s long-lasting durability, while the golden finish brings a luxurious touch to the sword’s overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from ebony wood, is both strong and elegant. Known for its dense, durable nature, ebony wood provides optimal protection from external elements. The kurigata, crafted from bull horn, adds extra strength and durability, enhancing the scabbard’s resistance to wear over time. Every detail of the saya is designed with both beauty and functionality in mind.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine stingray leather (shagreen), the tsuka ensures a firm, non-slip grip essential for precision and safety. The unique texture of shagreen, combined with gilded copper menuki, adds an extra layer of sophistication. The bamboo mekugi securely fasten the blade to the handle, ensuring stability and reliability during use.
The Katana Nara 楢 is truly a work of art, crafted for those who value excellence in both martial practice and sword collecting. With a T10 steel blade, a gilded copper tsuba, and an ebony scabbard, this Katana is both powerful and elegant. It embodies the spirit of Japanese tradition with superior craftsmanship and a design focused on performance.
