Features of the Yūga Katana
The Katana Yūga is a stunning tribute to elegance and sophistication, perfectly honouring its name, which translates to “grace” in Japanese. Designed to capture the essence of tradition, this Katana effortlessly combines artistry with functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, renowned for its purity and high carbon content, the blade is celebrated for its strength and ability to retain a razor-sharp edge. A delicately traced hamon runs along its length, the result of expert tempering, which ensures a flawless balance of hardness and flexibility. This blade is a testament to fine craftsmanship, delivering both precision and resilience, making it ideal for cutting practice or display.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The brass tsuba is both protective and artistic, striking the perfect balance between form and function. Brass, known for its durability and natural resistance to oxidation, ensures the tsuba maintains its lustre over time. Its intricate design adds a touch of refinement, elevating the Katana’s overall elegance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from solid wood, the saya provides robust protection for the blade while showcasing understated sophistication. Its simple design accentuates the Katana’s graceful aesthetic, complementing the blade’s beauty without overwhelming it. The lacquered finish offers durability and protection against environmental elements, ensuring the saya maintains its appeal for years to come.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a textured and secure grip, making it both functional and luxurious. Favoured by high-ranking samurai for its superior durability, shagreen not only enhances handling but also adds a prestigious character to the Katana. This balance of comfort and refinement ensures the wielder enjoys an unparalleled experience.
The Katana Yūga stands out as a refined and harmonious creation, ideal for practitioners who value both performance and aesthetics, as well as collectors seeking an exceptional piece. With its 1095 steel blade, elegant hamon, and high-quality materials, the Katana Yūga delivers timeless beauty and functionality in equal measure, embodying the true spirit of Japanese sword craftsmanship.
