Features of the Kage Katana
The Katana Kage is a remarkable testament to Japanese sword-making traditions, seamlessly combining elegance with unmatched cutting performance. This finely crafted blade embodies the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality, making it a standout choice for martial artists and collectors alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the black blade showcases exceptional toughness and durability. Renowned for its resistance to wear and ability to retain a razor-sharp edge, manganese steel ensures the blade performs reliably, even under rigorous use. Its capacity to withstand repeated sharpening makes it a go-to choice for practitioners aiming for longevity and reliability in their training or cutting demonstrations.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from zinc alloy, offers the ideal combination of lightweight functionality and strength. Designed with intricate, sculpted motifs, it enhances the visual appeal of the Katana while maintaining practical hand protection. This careful blend of traditional artistry and functionality contributes to smooth handling and precision during practice or display.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Made from ebony wood, the saya exudes dark sophistication while providing robust protection for the blade. Ebony, prized for its density and natural resistance, ensures the scabbard maintains its integrity over time. The kurigata, made from bull horn, adds an elegant yet sturdy detail, increasing the durability and luxury of the scabbard’s design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a secure and textured grip that ensures comfort and stability, even during extended use. The durability of shagreen, combined with its anti-slip texture, enhances control and handling precision. Zinc alloy menuki provide subtle decorative touches while contributing to the balance of the Katana. Two bamboo mekugi secure the blade within the handle, adhering to traditional methods and ensuring long-term structural reliability.
The Katana Kage is the ideal companion for practitioners and collectors who appreciate precision, tradition, and sophistication. Its sleek black blade, durable construction, and exquisite details make it both a reliable tool for training and a striking piece for display. Combining timeless craftsmanship with modern performance, the Katana Kage captures the essence of Japanese swordsmanship with refined elegance and outstanding practicality.
