Orochi Katana 大蛇

Features of the Orochi Katana

The Katana Orochi is a masterfully crafted sword that embodies the artistry and precision of traditional Japanese swordsmithing. Designed for those who demand excellence, this Katana seamlessly combines beauty, strength, and functionality, making it a standout choice for martial artists and collectors alike.

Blade (Tōshin 刀身)

Forged from premium T10 high-carbon steel, the blade is celebrated for its impressive durability and ability to retain a razor-sharp edge. The hamon, featuring a striking flame-like pattern, is a testament to expert selective tempering. This process not only enhances the blade’s hardness but also highlights the skill and dedication of its maker. The mirror-polished finish accentuates the blade’s sleek lines, making it as visually captivating as it is precise in cutting performance.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)

The golden sculpted copper tsuba is both functional and decorative, embodying the refinement of traditional Japanese design. Every intricate engraving tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship. Copper, chosen for its durability and graceful ageing, develops a unique patina over time, further enhancing the Katana’s character. Its weight contributes to the Katana’s exceptional balance, enabling smooth and fluid handling.

Scabbard (Saya 鞘)

Crafted from solid ebony wood, the saya provides robust protection for the blade while offering a sophisticated aesthetic. Ebony is prized for its density and resilience, ensuring the scabbard safeguards the blade from environmental damage. The kurigata, fashioned from bull horn, adds a distinctive and luxurious detail, while the woven sageo ensures secure attachment during transport, blending practicality with elegance.

Handle (Tsuka 柄)

Wrapped in authentic ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a firm and secure grip, essential for precise handling. Shagreen’s textured surface enhances control, making it an ideal choice for extended use. The golden copper menuki, intricately designed, add both a decorative and functional touch, improving grip and reinforcing the Katana’s connection to traditional aesthetics.

Structure

The blade and handle are secured by two bamboo mekugi, ensuring stability and safety. This traditional assembly method allows for easy disassembly and thorough maintenance, extending the Katana’s lifespan and preserving its performance over time.
