Features of the Suigyoku Katana
The Katana Suigyoku 翠玉 is a true masterpiece, blending natural elegance with exceptional performance. Designed to appeal to both collectors and martial artists, every element of this Katana has been crafted to meet the highest standards of beauty and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from spring steel, the blade stands out for its flexibility and resilience. This unique combination allows it to absorb shocks while maintaining an exceptional edge. Hand-forged by skilled artisans, the blade’s hammered texture not only adds to its visual appeal but also enhances the steel’s structural integrity. This traditional crafting technique ensures lasting durability and highlights the timeless artistry of Japanese swordsmithing.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from a zinc alloy and carefully gilded, balances lightweight durability with refined elegance. Zinc, valued for its resistance to corrosion, helps to preserve the guard’s appearance and strength, while the intricate sculpted details elevate the overall aesthetic of the sword, adding sophistication to this remarkable piece.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from lacquered green wood, the saya provides optimal protection for the blade and is designed to withstand the elements. The lustrous lacquer finish not only shields the wood from scratches but also enhances the Katana’s visual appeal. The sageo, crafted from durable cotton, matches the saya, ensuring a secure fit and adding a harmonious touch to the Katana’s overall design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine green shagreen, the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip essential for precision handling. The unique texture of shagreen prevents slipping and offers excellent adhesion during technical movements. Copper menuki and bamboo mekugi are integrated not only as decorative elements but also to reinforce the handle’s structure, ensuring that the blade remains securely fastened.
The Katana Suigyoku 翠玉 combines artistic beauty with martial engineering. Its flexible spring steel blade, green shagreen-covered handle, and gilded tsuba make this Katana a perfect union of form and function.
