Features of the Tame Katana
The Katana Tame 鍛冶 is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, where each detail has been meticulously crafted to seamlessly blend aesthetics, performance, and symbolism.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, the blade of the Tame Katana features a beautiful, undulating hamon—a result of expert differential tempering. The striking contrast between the hamon and the silvery polish of the steel adds both subtle elegance and a commanding presence. With its high carbon content, T10 steel ensures exceptional hardness and maintains a razor-sharp edge, even after extensive use. Hand-hammered by master craftsmen, each blade is a unique creation, showcasing the swordsmith’s skill and expertise.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from copper with delicate gold and silver accents, showcases motifs inspired by nature. More than just decoration, this design adds balance to the sword, enhancing manoeuvrability and precision. The floral motifs pay homage to samurai heritage, symbolising life, growth, and the deep connection to nature that samurai held dear.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from richly lacquered green wood, reflects the harmony between humans and nature. The lacquer finish enhances its beauty and protects the wood from wear over time, ensuring lasting durability. The black sageo adds a subtle contrast, blending elegance with function while providing a secure way to carry the sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine white shagreen, providing a secure and comfortable grip. This traditional material, valued for its durability and unique texture, ensures perfect grip—essential for precision in handling. The intricate tsukamaki wrapping further strengthens the connection between wielder and sword, allowing for total control and stability during practice.
