Features of the Shiroi ki Katana
The Katana Shiroi Ki 白い木, meaning “White Wood,” is an exquisite piece that seamlessly blends purity with strength. Symbolising both the elegance of nature and raw power, this Katana pays homage to the rich heritage of Japanese sword-making.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade features a captivating cascading pattern, achieved through the traditional technique of repeatedly folding the steel. This process not only provides exceptional durability but also ensures a razor-sharp edge that stands the test of time. The natural grey tone of the steel reflects the authenticity of the forge, embodying the strength and precision that defines this remarkable martial weapon.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, intricately crafted from copper, offers both protection and balance. Beyond its functional role, this guard is a work of art, capturing the skill and artistry of the maker and adding a refined aesthetic element to the overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid wood, the saya exemplifies durability and quiet strength. Its robust construction reliably protects the blade, while the lacquered or painted surface displays traditional Japanese craftsmanship. This blend of strength and elegance makes the saya an essential component that enhances the Katana’s balance and grace.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Covered in lacquered magnolia wood, the tsuka provides a comfortable, secure grip. Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), valued for its textured surface and resilience, the handle offers superior grip and longevity. The combination of these materials creates a functional yet elegant handle, enhancing the authenticity and nobility of the weapon.
The Katana Shiroi Ki 白い木 is more than just a sword; it is a celebration of Japan’s martial heritage. With its Damascus steel blade, finely sculpted copper tsuba, and lacquered wood and shagreen-wrapped handle, this Katana is a flawless blend of tradition, functionality, and visual beauty.
